Today was a long, long day. I need more hours today, I am sure you have all been there. Because I was so pressed for time, I needed to make lunch that was quick, simple, and full of flavor.
I am never to busy for flavor!
I rinsed my fish, patted it dry, placed it in a bowl and topped it with creole seasonings, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a little smoked paprika.
Add two beaten eggs, some hot sauce and the zest and juice of a lemon. Oh, don’t forget about little yellow mustard. Mix and that’s it!
While the fish is relaxing and the grease is heating up, I made some quick slaw with this beautiful purple cabbage. Just beautiful, look at it, I love pretty vegetables.
When the grease is ready, fry the fish until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
Beautiful, huh? Yep, perfectly golden brown, not greasy, and seasoned to perfection. Drain on paper towels while you lightly toast your bun.
Place slaw on bottom bun, I added some leftover veggies because I wanted extra crunch.
Top with two pieces of fish per person, or more if you dare! Let’s Eat.
Creole Fried Fish Sandwich with Quick Slaw
Lift fish out with strainer and place on paper towel to assist with draining.
Yum! This looks amazing!
Thank you Sheena.
CC, you know I call you the Black Paula Deen, because your food is ON POINT, but baby, ain’t none of it diet, phew…. i’m not complaining tho. I like my fried fish, but I have to try your method here and see if it’s better (probably will be) because everything you do is seasoned to perfection and just puts me into food nirvana. i’m all over this – went deep sea fishing last week and so I’m ready! Love your blog – I pin you ALL the time and you are popular on my board!
LOL, Tee. Thank You.
When and how do you used the mixed egg, hot sauce, lemon zest, juice and mustard? Do you mix it with the cornmeal? Or do you dip the fish in it and then in the cornmeal????
No Mix it with the fish. I am sorry about that I am so used to cooking without directions….lol
