Dip each fish fillet in the milk, ensuring it is well coated, and let it sit for 5 minutes if desired.

Coat the milk-soaked fish fillet in the breading mix, ensuring an even coating.

Carefully lower the coated fish fillet into the preheated oil, frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
