Fried Fillet Fish. Haddock and cod are two excellent choices for fried fish, but tilapia, pollock, or another mild white fish should work fine. Be careful not to overcook the thin fillets or burn the crispy coating. For frying, you will want to use a high heat oil, such as canola oil, corn oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, or grapeseed oil.

The coating protects the flesh from direct heat and helps keep the fish moist, while also providing a browned and crispy or crunchy crust. The method avoids a large amount of oil (not to mention the mess) required for deep frying. With a good fish, well seasoned and crispy skin, I don't need a sauce.but I've added a couple in the notes just in case! 🙂 Seriously crunchy fried fish - love it!

I've made this twice now with the addition of a flour dusting before frying. The mustard takes fish to a whole new level of yumminess that will please both adults AND kids.

Continue coating all the fish in the cornmeal/flour mixture. By doing so, the coating will stick to the fish and it will fry up nice and crispy.
