Elevate your dinner with this panko-crusted porgy fish recipe! Light, crispy, and golden, this dish pairs perfectly with your favorite sides for an easy and delicious meal. 🐟
Ingredients
- ½ pound porgie fillets skin on or off (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour or rice flour for gluten-free
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup light olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
- 1-2 lemons
Instructions
- Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix the flour, Old Bay, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, whisk the eggs.
- Dip each fillet into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and then coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the fillets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until the fish is golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce.
