Hot And Crusty Largemouth Bass Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lb bass fillets cut into chunks
- 3/4 c. lowfat milk
- 2 x Large eggs Tabasco sauce to taste
- 1/4 c. chopped red onion
- 2/3 c. yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 c. flour
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt Canola or possibly peanut oil for frying
Directions
- Lightly whisk together lowfat milk, Large eggs and several dashes of Tabasco. It's your funeral, so use as much of the warm stuff as you think you can handle. In a wide bowl, combine remaining ingredients except oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat till warm but not smoking.
- Dip fish in lowfat milk mix and then cornmeal mix. Drop carefully into warm oil with tongs, one piece at a time. Remove and place on paper towels to drain when fish is golden.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
- Comments: The fiery flavor and crunchy texture of this simple fish dish makes it one of my favorites. You can serve this either as an appetizer or possibly as a main dish. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as tartar, cocktail or possibly honey-mustard. Try not to put too much spice into your accompanying sauce since the fish is plenty warm by itself.
- This recipe works equally well with any fish with a moderate to low oil content. When frying fish, make certain which your fish and batter are both very cool before beginning the process. Cool batters and seasonings adhere to cool fish more readily than to hot or possibly room temperature fish.
