Step 1

Fill a large, heavy-bottomed skillet about halfway with the oil; preheat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire cooling rack on top of them.

Step 2

Combine the flour, cornmeal, Old Bay, granulated garlic, granulated onion and black pepper in a large shallow pan.

Step 3

Working in batches, coat each fillet in the flour mixture. Add one or two flllets at a time to the hot oil, making sure not to crowd the pan. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, turning the fillets over as needed to create a golden crust, until the fish is cooked through and remains firm when handled with tongs. Transfer to the rack to drain. Repeat to cook all of the fish, discarding any leftover coating mixture.

Step 4

Serve hot.
