An excellent after church meal…I may not have to go back to the Blue Willow Inn as often.
4 pieces of tilapia filet
1 cup flour
1 cup dry bread crumbs or more as needed
salt, pepper and other seasonings of choice
2 large eggs
1/2 cup beer, lager or ale (I use whatever is in the fridge)
In a bowl mix eggs and beer.
Have another plate with seasoned flour and another plate of bread crumbs.
Dip fish filets into egg-beer mixture, then roll in flour, dip into egg mixture again and lastly roll into breadcrumbs.
Fry in hot oil, turning only once until browned on each side and fish is fork tender. Place filets on paper toweling to absorb any excess oil. Mix any remaining flour, breadcrumbs and egg-beer mixture into a batter. Fry spoonfuls of the batter in hot oil until puffed and golden on each side. Serve along with the fish.
