Friday Night Fish Fry is tradition in my home state of Wisconsin. Whether going to a bar, supper club, or making it at home & inviting friends over for dinner, fish fry just as much a part of Wisconsin culture as brandy old fashioneds & the Green Bay Packers. My Mom's fried fish recipe is kinda famous amongst our friends & family – everyone who tries it is quick to declare, "this is the best fish fry I've EVER had!" Pretty high praise in Wisconsin, & I think people love it because it's especially light & crispy since Mom's approach is a bit different from classic Wisconsin fish fry. Rather than beer battering & deep frying, the fish is coated in panko breadcrumbs & pan-fried. The result is light, crispy, & won't leave you feeling heavy afterward. Plus, the flavor & texture of the fish really comes through! As far as fish goes, you can use any hearty white fish for this recipe. Cod (pictured) is a great choice that's readily available at most conventional grocery stores, but tilapia & catfish are great options too. If you're a fisherman or ice fisherman in the upper Midwest, walleye, perch, crappie, & panfish like bluegill all work beautifully with this recipe too.  Enjoy alongside Mom's tartar sauce (it's the best!) & your cozy carb of choice (french fries! hash browns! potato pancakes! white rice! 🌺), & perhaps the only thing missing is a brand old fashioned. ♡ Happy cooking!
