Grouper Bites

Grouper bites are a popular seafood dish that is typically made from grouper fish, a large species of fish found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Grouper is known for its mild flavor and firm texture, making it a favorite choice for many seafood lovers. Grouper bites are often served with dipping sauces such as tartar sauce, aioli, or remoulade, and are a popular appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

1 lb grouper fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Sea salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1 cup breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil for frying

Lemon wedges for serving

Tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions:

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge the grouper pieces in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured grouper pieces into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the grouper pieces in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the grouper bites in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked grouper bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the grouper bites hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
