How To Make Fried Fish | How To make Porgies | Cook Fresh Fish

Start with fresh porgies that were caught a few hours ago.

Season the fish with black pepper, o seasoning, and fish seasoning. Optionally add garlic powder.

Prepare about 1.5 cups of cornmeal and 1 cup of flour for coating the fish.

Coat the seasoned fish in the cornmeal and flour mixture, pressing it on to ensure it sticks.

Heat oil in a deep fryer until hot.

Carefully drop the coated fish into the hot oil.

Fry the fish for about 7 minutes, ensuring they become crispy and golden brown.

Check if the fish floats to the top as an indicator of doneness.

Flip the fish after 7 minutes for even cooking, and fry for an additional 1-2 minutes if you prefer it fried harder.

Remove the fish from the oil and serve with salad and hot sauce.
