Cornmeal Crusted Grouper Fillets


We brought home these beautiful grouper fillets from a recent trip to the Gulf Coast.  Sweet Harold wanted fried grouper and I was more than happy to cook his favorite seafood.  I know a lot of people use different seasoning blends, rubs or what have you.  For me, I am a purist when it comes to grouper.  I want to taste the fish and not the seasonings.  So this is just about as simple as can be.  I hope you try it and enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

2 lbs. grouper fillets, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
1 cup white self rising corn meal
salt and pepper

Place cornmeal in a shallow plate or baking dish.  Add salt and pepper to taste and mix together.

Lightly dust the fillets in the cornmeal mixture and heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy Dutch oven to 375 degrees.

Add a few pieces of the fish to the hot oil and fry for 5 - 8 minutes depending on the size of the fillets.  Drain on paper towels and place on a baking sheet and put in a warm oven while you finish frying the other pieces of fish.
