In another bowl, whisk together eggs and water until well combined.

Dip each fish into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet 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 until golden brown and cooked through.

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

Serve hot with lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley.

Accompany with sliced tomato and onion for a fresh side.
