Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs. frozen Tilapia thawed, or use walleye if you have it
  • Approx. 1 cup Fish fry mix preferably Shore Lunch although Zatarin’s is O.K. in a pinch
  • Olive oil or canola oil

Method
 

  1. Pour enough olive oil into a large skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Heat oil to medium or medium-high.
  2. Cut each tilapia filet into 4 parts.
  3. Pour fish fry mix into large Ziploc bag. Drop 4-6 fish fillets into the bag at a time, and shake to coat.
  4. Fry fish half of the fish at a time, flipping after the first side as reached a golden color. Continue cooking until the second side is also golden, adding more oil if needed to keep the bottom of the pan covered.
