Instructions
- Add fish and buttermilk to a bowl; let marinate for 20 minutes. In a large pot, heat 3 inches of peanut oil in a to 325 degrees.
- In a medium bowl combine flour and 2 teaspoons salt. Remove fish from buttermilk. Dredge fillets in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Cook in hot oil 5–6 minutes or until fish is golden brown, crispy and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove fish and drain on paper towels.
- Carefully remove 1/4 cup peanut oil from pot and place in a small bowl. Stir sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic powder into bowl; drizzle over top of fried fish.

Time-Saving Tip
Skip steps 1–2. For step 3, swap the oil for melted butter. Ask us to season your fish with blackening seasoning and fry it in our spicy red breading.
