Not My Mom's Fried Fish

This is someone's mom's fried fish recipe but it's not my mom. i found it in taste of home, june/july 2005 issue and made it tonight for dinner. it's very, very good and so easy. the recipe called for the fish to be deep fried but i fried it in about 3/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet. also, the original recipe called for whitefish fillets, cut in half lengthwise....i used some thin chilean sea bass fillets and it was excellent. i think any firm, white fish fillets will work. this recipe was printed in taste of home magazine and attributed to julie in wisconsin. julie, if you ever become a member of zaar, contact me and i'll ask kathy to transfer this recipe over to you and thanks for the great dinner!!
