Nothing beats fresh fried fish and largemouth bass is one of the best. I actually prefer black bass over bream for this recipe. Serve with cut fries if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 pound largemouth bass fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons salt
- vegetable oil for frying
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place bass in a bowl. Add salt and cover with water. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out all blood. Rinse bass thoroughly to remove salt. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
Place cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, paprika, and pepper in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Zip and shake until evenly combined.
Step 4
Drop 2 pieces of bass into the bag, zip, and shake to coat. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining bass.
Step 5
Fry bass in the preheated deep fryer for 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.
