Crispy Deep-Fried Capelin
Difficulty: easy
Prep Time: Fifteen Minutes
Total Time: Under an hour
20 male capelin, cleaned and head removed
1/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin, ground
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin, ground
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Mix together cornmeal and breadcrumbs in one bowl. In a second bowl, combine flour and spices. In a third bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Lightly moisten the capelin with water, but only just enough that the flour can stick. Roll each fish in the flour, shake off the excess and dip in egg wash, then roll in crumbs. Pat to be sure it's all coated. Deep fry in oil heated to 325F until golden brown. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings
