Catch of the Day is JFC Fried Fish (Haddock or Cod). Dipped in JAH Deep Fry Batter & Breaded with JFC Breading. Deep-Fried for 5 minutes. Turn it into a Platter with French Fries, Coleslaw and a side of Tartar Sauce.
Thaw the Fish while still in its original packaging for 10 minutes in a bowl filled with room temp water. Then remove each fillet and lay down on a wired rack. Sprinkle lightly with a bit of Sugar & Kosher Salt and leave dry for about 2 hours. To further assist drying, place the rack of fish fillets in front of a fan. Flip them over and repeat with Sugar & Salt and drying after 1 hour. The Fish Fillets should be dry to the touch before deep frying.
Prepare JAH Deep Fry Batter, adding 1 Tbl of White Vinegar and refrigerate while heating up the Deep Fryer to 375 F.

Season the fish lightly with Sugar & Kosher Salt, optionally with some Black or White Pepper. How much depends on the size and thickness of the fish fillets. Use a very small amount to avoid overly salty fish, only enough to season the fish.
