HONEY-FRIED FISH FILLETS

1 egg, beaten
1 tsp honey
1 cup coarsely crushed soda crackers
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 lbs walleye or other fish fillets (about 6-oz each), skin removed
Canola or peanut oil

In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg and honey.

In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the crackers, flour, salt, and pepper.

Dip the fillets,one at a time, first in the egg/honey mixture; dredge in the cracker mixture to coat.

In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1/8-inch oil over medium heat. When hot, add the fillets and fry for 4 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.  Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Serve with lemon wedges and additional honey for drizzling, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings
