Fried Fish

Clean and gut the fish, then pat them dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.

Dip each fish into the buttermilk, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Carefully place the fish in the skillet once the oil is hot.

Fry the fish for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the fish and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
