pan fried rockfish

This rockfish recipe is better than anything you can find in a restaurant.  The fish gets dipped in a seasoned egg batter then coated in a Panko and Parmesan crust. Fry it in a pan of hot oil to get an extra crunchy crust on the fish. 

If you are using frozen rockfish, thaw it completely before you begin.
