Step 1

Make sure you have your oil heating while you prep the fish.  You can use a deep fryer, but I don’t have one so I just heat my oil in a cast iron skillet (it's about a quarter inch deep) on the stove

Step 2

Follow the directions to my 3-2-1 Keto Breading recipe to make your batter.  At this point add your seasoning.

Step 3

You will also need to put together an egg wash.  To create an egg wash, use a fork to whip a raw egg in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water.

Step 4

Add fish to the egg and coat thoroughly. Then dredge the fish through the breading until fully coated.

Step 5

Tip: The oil in your skillet is hot enough for frying when a droplet of water will bounce off of it.

Step 6

Add the fish and allow it to fry for about 3 minutes, or until the underside is turning a dark golden brown.  If you have a really thick piece of fish, you may have to fry for closer to 5 minutes.

Step 7

Use fork to flip it, As the bottom half cooks – again, for about 3 minutes – the top will continue to darken.

Step 8

When fish is golden brown on both sides, pull it out of the hot oil and set it on a paper towel to drain while you fry the next batch.  A pound usually takes me 3 rounds in my small cast iron skillet.
