Equipment

Ingredients

2 fish fillets , cut into small pieces
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornmeal
2 teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
½ cup Panko
2 cups oil , for frying

Instructions

In a bowl, add the fish pieces, then pour the milk over and mix until coated; soak for 15- 20 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk the egg with sriracha.
In another bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, pepper, mustard and Cajun seasoning.
In another small bowl, add the Panko.
Dip fish pieces into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and then into the Panko until all the fish is coated.
Now, heat the oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Fry the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden.
Take the fish out on a paper towel and then serve.

Notes

If you need to fry large quantities, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the fish in the pot and to allow the fish to cook evenly and get a nice crunch.
I also recommend shaking off the excess fish coating before frying to avoid any particles that could float in the pan and burn while frying.
