Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Fried Striped Bass.
Step 1
Start by heating peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oil warms up, grab a bowl and whisk together some eggs and a splash of water to create a smooth egg wash—this will help our coating stick beautifully.
Step 3
Next, take your striped bass fillets and season both sides generously with Cajun seasoning and a sprinkle of lemon pepper for that extra zing.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to dredge! Coat each fillet in flour, making sure to shake off any excess so they don’t get too heavy.
Step 5
Once they’re floured, dip the fillets into the egg wash, allowing any extra to drip off, and then roll them in crushed salt-and-vinegar potato chips for a delightful crunch.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil, frying them until they turn a gorgeous golden brown—about four minutes on each side should do the trick.
Step 7
When they’re perfectly crispy, remove the fried bass from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve your delicious creations immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for that bright, zesty finish.
Step 9
Enjoy every bite of this flavorful dish!.
