There’s nothing better than a day spent fishing with good company and coming back home to enjoy the day’s catch. And there’s nothing more Wisconsin than a Friday fish fry. Serve your fish with House Cut French fries, fresh sweet corn (preferably from a cart stand from the side of the road) and your dipping sauce of choice for the full Wisconsin experience.
Friday Fish Fry
Ingredients
- 1- 2 lb de-boned and cleaned fresh caught pan fish (or any white fish or Walleye)
- A package of beer batter fish fry breading and batter mix
- 1 egg
- Oil for frying
Directions
- Pour oil into a large skillet and set burner to medium-high.
- Make an egg wash for the fish by whisking the egg in a bowl. Pour the batter coating onto a separate shallow bowl or plate.
- Dip the fish to cover in the egg wash, cover fish in the egg wash, and then immediately dredge in the fish fry batter.
- Place the fish into the preheated oil, cooking 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Remove fully cooked fish onto a paper towel and serve.
If your family loves a good Friday fish fry just as much as mine, you know that you’ll want this meal more often than you’ll be able to catch fresh fish. I found a delicious alternative to this recipe with another Friday Family Fish Fry using Gorton’s fish sticks! Try it out!
