Mom’s Fried Fish
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
Our family has an annual fish fry that centers around my mom's recipe. I think she makes the finest fried fish around. It's flaky and flavorful with a golden cracker-crumb coating, and her homemade tartar sauce is a fitting complement.—Julie Jahnke, Green Lake, Wisconsin
