Fried Fillet Fish. 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. For frying, you will want to use a high heat oil, such as canola oil, corn oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, or grapeseed oil.

The coating protects the flesh from direct heat and helps keep the fish moist, while also providing a browned and crispy or crunchy crust. The method avoids a large amount of oil (not to mention the mess) required for deep frying. With a good fish, well seasoned and crispy skin, I don't need a sauce.but I've added a couple in the notes just in case! 🙂 Seriously crunchy fried fish - love it!
