👨‍🍳 Instructions

Toss together bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the buttermilk.

Toss the fish with the flour, shake off the excess, and dip into the egg.

Shake off excess egg, and press into breadcrumb mixture.

Heat about 1/8 inch of oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side until the fish flakes easily and has browned nicely.
