Fresh Fried Largemouth Bass

Fresh Fried Largemouth Bass

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.
