Tilapia Recipe
Southern Fried Tilapia




This tilapia recipe will be a favourite with the whole family.

I like to serve it with fries and coleslaw.

It would be a hit at a kids party or an adult buffet - it is even good served cold.

You can even use this coating to get a fairly authentic southern fried chicken recipe - maybe shouldn't mention that on a seafood recipe site, but if you look at the bottom of this page, you'll see how to do it :-)

Southern Fried Tilapia
4 tilapia fish fillets
minced onion
minced garlic
1 egg - beaten
2 tbspns flour
cinnamon
nutmeg
paprika
chilli powder
cumin powder
dried sage
dried chives
oil for frying

Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets, then rub with minced onion and garlic.

Take the flour and add about 1/4 tspn of each of the herbs and spices. Put this onto a plate.

Dip the tilapia fish in the egg and then into the spiced flour mixture, making sure it is thoroughly coated.

Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok and add the tilapia fish - fry for about 2 minutes, then turn and fry for a further 2 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Serve immediately with fries and coleslaw.

If you were to serve this tilapia recipe at a buffet, then I would suggest that you cut the fillets into strips (goujons) before flouring and frying - adjust the timing to be about 1 minute either side.

If you want to use this coating for chicken pieces, then the secret to getting the lovely juicy result (that you get in the famous southern fried chicken places) is to pressure cook the pieces of chicken for about 6 minutes - that cooks and plumps up the chicken pieces - then shallow fry for 3 to 4 minutes or deep fry for 2 minutes.
