Stop Frying Fish IN OIL! Grandmama's Secret, NO Fryer, Quick Crispy Fish

STOP Frying Fish in OIL, honey! The Old Southern Way Makes It Crispier — No Deep Fryer, No Grease There's an older, simpler way to fry fish, and once you hear that crust crack, I don't think you'll go back. When I was a girl, my mama fried fish in a pot of lard so deep you could've lost a shoe in it. Then came the winter the lard ran out, six hungry mouths at the table and Friday coming whether we liked it or not. So she fried that fish in a bone-dry skillet, not one drop of grease in it, and honey, it came out crispier than anything that big pot of lard ever made. In this video I'm showing you exactly how she did it. The step that sounds like it can't possibly work — crisp fish in a bone-dry pan. The little mistake that ruins more fried fish than anything else, and I'd bet money you're making it right now. And the frugal trick Mama slipped into her coating when times were hardest, the one that gave her fish a crunch no bag of store-bought fish fry ever matched. I'm holding that one for the end. Give it a try this Friday, then come back and tell me how it went. What did fish night look like in your house growing up? Who did the frying, and where in the world are you watching from?
