flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is often cheaper.

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while canola is typically less expensive.

Clean and gut the kingfish, then rinse under cold water.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully place the coated fish into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Fry the fish for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fish from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fried fish before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with tartar sauce, cucumber, and tomato.
