3 large egg yolks
½ Cup beer
¾ Cup flour
½ Tablespoon salt
½ Tablespoon baking powder
Directions:
1) Cut Tilapia fillets into 2 inches strips (the more even and uniform they are, the nicer the
presentation and the strips will also cook uniformly).
2) Put all the Tilapia strips in a bowl with the lemon or lime juice, parsley, olive oil, and
add salt and pepper.
3) In another bowl, mix egg yolks and beer and add flour, salt and baking powder and mix
until smooth with no lumps in the batter.
4) Begin to heat oil for deep frying.
5) Dip pieces of fish, individually, into the beer batter, and then lay or drop them into me-
dium hot oil.
6) Again, cook over medium heat. Turn the fish strips over after three minutes or until
golden brown all over. Cook 3 minutes on each side. If you make the oil too hot, it will
smoke, and your beer batter will cook before your fish cooks.
7) Drain strips well and serve hot.
Serve with French fries orbaked potato wedges, corn onthe cob, baked beans, garlic bread,
tartar sauce, lemon wedges. Serve with cherry or apple pie for dessert.

Southern Fried Tilapia
Ingredients
:
4 (4-ounce) Tilapia filets
1 ½ Cups cornmeal
⅓ Cup flour
2 Tablespoons fresh or dried parsley
¼ Teaspoon salt
¼ Teaspoon pepper
¾ Cup healthy cooking oil such as: olive oil, canola oil flax seed oil, peanut oil, safflower
oil, sunflower oil, and corn oil. Avoid vegetable shortenings, butter, and coconut.
(optional) Cayenne pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Begin heating ½ cup cooking oil in a skillet/frying pan until it's very hot. Right before
you put the Tilapia fillets in the grease, drop one drop of water in it and if it 'pops and
sizzles', it's hot enough.
