I have been sharing daily soul food recipes on my Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> pages for Black History Month. That is how I realized I was missing a fried fish recipe on my site. To remedy that, I\u2019m sharing my recipe for crispy pan fried fish without eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Fried fish is a typical soul food dinner dish but it isn\u2019t something that I make a lot. One reason is that \u201cmy guys\u201d don\u2019t really like fish a lot. Secondly, I don\u2019t fry a lot of dishes. I reserve fried dishes for special requests or occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I make something though, I want to make the best version that I can. \u201cSuccess leaves clues\u201d is one of my favorite quotes that I apply to practically every area of my life \u2013 including cooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I don\u2019t know how to make something, I think about the best version of the dish that I have tasted. Then, I ask the person who made it. (If someone mentions that their recipe is a family secret or something like that, I respect that and move on to ask the \u201cnext best\u201d version person for their recipe.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best fried fish that I remember tasting recently was actually from a restaurant, Rockaway Fish House. I had two questions so I called and asked them\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. What type of fish do you use? (Whiting)<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do you use cornmeal or flour? (A combination of the two)<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    With those two answers, I was easily able to make my version of Southern Crispy Pan Fried Fish. <\/p>\n\n\n
