It’s Friday night and the cast iron skillet is waiting for this fish. When delicious seafood is dipped in flavorful batters or coatings before baking or frying, it adds an extra dimension of crispness that retains flavor and moisture. My pan fried Tilapia was marinated the night before then dredge in season flour combined with instant mash potato flakes which make the perfect coating for this fish.

Place fish in bag and toss and shake until tilapia fillets are completely covered. Then remove filets and shake off excess coating and place on a plate to give coating a chance to adhere to fish.
