Instructions
Get your fish out of the refrigerator and pat the filets dry with paper towels.
Mix the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper powder together.
Sprinkle half of the dry ingredients directly onto the fish and mix the rest together with the flour in a medium size bowl.
Crack your eggs into a medium size bowl and mix well.
Place a large pan or skillet onto the stove top and turn the heat to medium high.
Add in the oil and 1/2 of the butter and let it come up to temp.
While the oil and butter are getting hot, lay your pieces of fish into the flour mix and coat all sides of the fish pieces.
Place the fish onto a plate.
Crush up your crackers and mix into the left over flour mix.
Take your flour coated fish pieces and drag them through the egg wash, covering both sides.
Let the excess egg drip off and then place the pieces of fish one by one into the flour and cracker mix.
Slightly press the fish on both sides into the mix.
Shake off any excess before laying the fish into the pan.
Let cook for about four minutes and until golden brown, then flip each piece over and cook for another four minutes.
Slide a fork into the fish to test for doneness.
When the fork easily slides through the middle of the filets, it is cooked all the way through.
Pull the fish from the pan and keep adding and removing the fish filets until all are done cooking.
Add in the rest of the butter as needed.
Rest your fish on a wire rack and fan any excess oil with a paper towel.
The fish is now ready to serve.
