Flounder Nuggets

You’ll need:

As much boneless  flounder as you desire

1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal (not self rising)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pack of sazon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beaten egg
2 - 3 cups canola oil

This recipe is very simple, if you need more seasoned cornmeal because you are frying a lot of fish, simply double the recipe.  One batch of seasoned corn meal can coat approx 1 - 2 pounds of flounder nuggets

Cut the flounder into at least 1 1/2 inch pieces.  Then combine the beaten egg and flounder in a bowl.  In another bowl combine the cornmeal and spices.  Remove fish from the egg allowing the excess egg to drip off, then dredge all of the fish in the cornmeal.  Remove from the cornmeal shaking off all the excess cornmeal.

Heat the oil in a deep pot or a deep frying and heat oil until it’s about 355-360 degree F.  Fry the fish nuggets for 3 to 4 minutes or until the fish floats to the top of the oil.  Remove from the oil and place on a pan lined with paper towels to allow the fish to drain.
