Fried Bluegill Fillets

"The secret to this recipe is double-dip-ping the fish fillets,"

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 eggs
1-1/2 pounds bluegill fillets or crappie fillets
112 cup vegetable oil, divided

In a shallow bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip fillets in eggs, then coat with crumb mixture. Dip again in eggs and crumb mixture.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook fillets in batches in 2 tablespoons oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork, adding oil as needed.

Yield: 6 servings.
