Friday Fish Fry - egg & milk battered flounder

Today is a Fish day! We have the best fish & chips at our local  Irish pub but we also like our traditional recipe for egg & milk battered fish and I am making it quiet often. This is a Ukrainian style recipe which I got from my Aunt a long time ago. She was a great cook, I just wished I would have written down more of her wonderful recipes.


Try it, I think, you will like it, too!
 
You will need:
2lbs of flounder (cod, pollock or any other mild white fish)  
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 cup all purpose flour
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup of olive oil for frying

 Defrost your flounder fillets and squeeze out the excess of liquid. Cut fish to the portion size pieces.

Prepare your batter: whisk eggs and milk in the bowl, add flour, salt and pepper. Blend it together until smooth. 

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with about 1 cup of olive oil. Dip your fish pieces in the batter and fry on each side until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.   

Serve with mashed potato and green cabbage salad. 

To make it Ukrainian style combine together shredded green cabbage, cucumber, green onion, salt, lemon juice and sunflower oil.
  Enjoy your Friday dinner!
