The Worlds BEST Fried Fish Recipe: How to fry fish

Pat the orange roughy dry with paper towels to ensure it is not wet.

In a ramekin, mix together kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning.

Season one side of the orange roughy with the spice mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with yellow cornmeal.

Dredge the seasoned fish gently in the cornmeal, ensuring not to coat it too heavily to avoid clumping.

Shake off excess cornmeal to prevent burning in the oil.

Heat a tiny bit of vegetable oil (or canola oil) in two large frying pans over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, gently lay the fish in the pans, being careful to avoid splatter.
