I typically don't cook fish often, and when I do it's usually grilled, but I've got some tilapia fillets to use up and I've got a taste for breaded and fried fish.
It's been so long since I breaded and fried fish, I have no recollection.... flour, eggs and bread crumbs? Just bread crumbs? Do I need to let it sit for a while for the breading to stick? And I'm also trying to decide if I should pan fry them or use the deep fryer.... I can eat a lot of fish and I want these fillets to come out right so I can pig out on a Friday night fish fry. BTW, the fillets are about sandwich size and not very thick. I'm kind of looking for a breading with a little crunch to it, but not overly thick like a batter.
Thanks for any help.
