Pour corn meal onto plate, season appropriately, set aside.

Coat all sides of tilapia fish fillets in flour, then egg wash, then seasoned corn meal, set aside battered fillets.

Have oil preheated for about 10-15minutes, and allow battered fish to rest for 5-7 minutes while preheating oil.

Drop battered fish into oil, allow to cook in deep fryer for 4-6 minutes, or until fillets float. Remove fish, dash with salt and pepper, and allow oil to drain then serve.
