This dish can be made with just about any type of white fish or salmon. I used Swai this go around because it's what we had on hand needing to be used. Not the best photo because I had to snap it of my husband's fillet while he was trying to eat since it was the last one we had.#February2026

Fried Fish Fried Fish
This tasty fried fish recipe is made with a basic combination of flour and seasonings, but don't be fooled by the simplicity of this dish—the fillets fry up crispy and delicious. 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.

My mother is from New Orleans and we grew up eating every kind of seafood. Since moving to North Louisiana she misses fried fish terribly. So blackening and searing seemed to be the best way to compensate for fresh fish.

Honey Mustard Baked Crusted Tilapia Fillets Honey Mustard Baked Crusted Tilapia Fillets
Successful #fridgecleanoutmeal ☺️👌 I had only 4 fillets and a couple salad dressing bottles that I wanted to use up. I also had a bit of grated parmesan to get rid of. This was a quick & easy dish, with minimal ingredients, that you could serve for dinner or lunch, as a sandwich or main course with sides, add to a salad, or simply enjoy alone if you like fish. 😄👍
