Ingredients

  • 4 -5 medium trout fillets (Catfish works well with this recipe also)
  • 13 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 14 cup nuts, finely chopped (any kind will do, but I prefer either almonds or pecans)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 14 teaspoon pepper
  • 14 teaspoon paprika
  • 14 teaspoon ground cumin
  • vegetable oil (about 1 inch in a frying pan)

Method

  • Beat egg with water in a shallow bowl.
  • Roll trout in the flour.
  • In a small paper or large ziplock bag, combine cornmeal, chopped nuts, salt, pepper, paprika, and ground cumin.
  • One piece at a time, dip fish in egg and then place in bag and toss to coat.
  • Heat veggie oil in frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry fish in oil, turning once, till both sides are brown (approx 10 minutes total).
  • You can tell when the fish is done, because you can flake it with a fork.
  • My hubby likes to sprinkle a little lemon or lime juice on his fish, but I like it just the way it is!
