Fish Fry

I've been craving fried fish for a while now. When I took Craig to the hospital for his kidney stones, I saw a sign at the IGA (independent grocers association) announcing that they has Tilapia on sale. They were selling it frozen, individually wrapped (vacuum sealed) and by the 3 pound bags. I had to get a bag. I've already made 2 meals out of it (baked and fried), and I have enough left for another meal. In this picture... I had to go watch Elliott do a jump on his dirt bike, and Craig wasn't watching the temp... so they got a little brown, but they were very delicious, not burnt at all!!!

Easy Fish Fry

• Fish... catfish, brim, etc (This time I used Tilapia)
• Oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

Mix flour, cornmeal and seasonings in a plastic container with lid (big enough to fit fish inside). Place fish in one at a time and carefully shake. Remove fish and fry in deep fryer set at 350 degrees until golden brown and fish floats.
