Crispy Ocean Perch Nuggets

I'm not always a big fan of fish, but I do like it if it is crispy.  I actually prefer my fish fresh-caught.  But, this recipe, might just change my mind.  This turned out fantastic and there were even some of those crispy, crunchy bits from the fryer.

Crispy Ocean Perch Nuggets

1 to 2 fillets of Ocean Perch (or your favorite fish)
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 cup whole milk
Oil for frying (I use Canola Oil)

Make sure you buy a boneless fish and cut it into nuggets about 1" x 1".  Place the milk in a bowl and mix the cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper into a second bowl.  Place enough oil for frying into a deep saucepan or deep fryer.  

Dip the nuggets into the milk and then into the cornmeal mixture.  Dip them back into the milk and back into the cornmeal mixture.  Set aside while you do all of the nuggets.  Letting them sit for a second before you fry them gives you a thicker and crispier batter.  Once you have all of the nuggets battered, drop them into the hot oil (about 4 at a time).  Turn once so that both sides are crispy.  Remove to a paper towel and be sure you get some of the crispy crunchies that are left in the oil.

Salt lightly and serve

Enjoy!
