Southern Fried Fish Fillets image

This recipe works well with any light white fish fillet. It works better with something that isn't as dense as cod or haddock. Better with flounder, snapper, grouper, etc. I have come to love using pecan meal when breading chicken or fish....pick it up for nothing where they sell pecans. It's basically the dust they have leftover when chopping pecans for sale or recipes. Adds tons of flavor and makes my life easier!
