Directions
Heat oil until it pops when sprinkled with a drop of water.
Pat fish dry, then brush with mustard, (mixed with sherry or brandy if desired).
Sift cornmeal, salt and pepper into bag.
Add 2 or 3 steaks or fillets, or 1 whole fish; close and shake.
Drop fish carefully into hot oil; fry until lightly browned.
Drain well on paper.
Keep fish warm and crisp in a closed paper sack.
Try fresh potatoes fried with the same batter.
