💰Cheaper: pollock

Baked cod offers a similar texture with fewer calories.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while cornstarch is often cheaper.

tartar sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade mayo

Yogurt-based sauce is lighter and lower in calories.

oil for frying

🥗Healthier: air fryer

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Using an air fryer reduces oil usage and calories.

Cut grouper fish into fillets and wash in vinegar and water.

Marinate the grouper fillets with lime juice, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, total seasoning, parsley flakes, and sea salt for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the flour with onion powder, garlic powder, total seasoning, red pepper flakes, Old Bay seasoning, parsley flakes, table salt, and sugar.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs and water or milk with onion powder, garlic powder, total seasoning, red pepper flakes, Old Bay seasoning, parsley flakes, and table salt.

Coat each fillet first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and coat again in the flour mixture.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the grouper fingers in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
