Camping Fish Recipe



This is the promised recipe from my friend Christiana, in her own words.   :-)  She is an avid gardener, and is one of the few women I know that hunts & fishes with enthusiasm.  

I love how we can find common ground as believers in Christ, but how we are as different as night & day, enjoying & celebrating those differences in each other.

Okay, this is one of my 'camping' fish recipes. I swallowed a fish bone last year, so I only use skinned/filleted fish now.

Vegetable oil (expect to spend $3-$5 for a small bottle at a typical bait-shop store)
1-3 fresh fish fillets, cut into 1 inch strips
Flour (1-2 cups or about 4 handsful)
1 lemon (best to pack a sack of lemons to take)
1 egg, beaten
Salt/Pepper
Paper plates
Paper towels
Frying pan
Tongs
Stove (or electric hot plate)

Line up four paper plates in a row. Place fish on 1st plate, flour on 2nd plate, beaten eggs on 3rd plate, and more flour on 4th plate. Cut lemon into good sized wedges and squeeze juice over both sides of fish. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Dredge fish in flour on 2nd plate, roll fish in beaten egg on 3rd plate, and carefully place fish on flour in 4th plate. Sprinkle flour over both sides of fish, carefully so you don't rub off all the good stuff. Repeat steps until all the fish is coated. I usually just leave the fish on the 4th plate until it's all ready to fry.

Wipe hands on paper towel (trust me, you can't skip this step).

Heat frying pan and about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil until it's hot. Add prepared fish and fry, turning once, until browned on each side (usually a few minutes per side).

When done, put fish on a paper towel-lined plate or two. Enjoy!
