Cut the white fish into pieces.

Season both sides of the fish with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk with 1 large egg. If you don't have buttermilk, mix whole milk with a little lemon juice as a substitute.

In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (optional), baking soda, and baking powder.

Coat each piece of fish with all-purpose flour to help the egg mixture adhere better.

Dip the floured fish pieces into the egg mixture using a fork for ease and cleanliness.

Coat the fish with the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well covered for a crispy texture.

Heat oil to 350°F for frying. You can use an electric fryer or a skillet with enough oil over medium-high heat.

Fry the fish for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

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

Season with a little salt to taste before serving.
