How to Fry Fish - Easy Fried Fish - Simple Fried Fish

Clean and gut the fish, then rinse under cold water.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Coat the fish evenly with the flour mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully place the coated fish in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Cook the fish for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

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

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish while still hot.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lime wedges.
