Oven Frying Fish Fillet
This method is a favorite because it renders a crisp fish without the odor, calories or cleanup of deep fat frying. it is faster than baking and very easy. The best pieces to use are whole fish, dressed, fillets, or steaks. You do not have to turn the fish with this method of cooking.

– 1 tbs. salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1 cup dry bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
