Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups crushed saltine crackers (about 45 crackers)
• 2 lbs fish fillets (use a firm, fish, about 1/2 inch thick such as -- whitefish, tilapia, sea bass)
• vegetable oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 place beaten eggs and saltine cracker crumbs in separate shallow bowls or pie tins.
• 2 dip fillets into eggs, then coat with crumbs; let stand for 5 minutes.
• 3 in a heavy, deep skillet, or electric frying pan, heat oil (about 3/4 to 1 inch of oil) to 375°. fry fillets, a few at a time, for 2 minutes on each side or until fish is golden brown and flakes easily (i found that when the fish is golden brown it's done).
