Light and Crispy Fried Halibut

This is just the kind of fish and chip breading we love. I used wild Alaskan Cod because halibut was $20 a pound (and I was being cheap...though I prefer halibut). I did cut the filets lengthwise so we could get more of that crunchy goodness all over. Next time I would salt and pepper the filets before I dipped them but otherwise PERFECTION!!! Crispy, crunchy (NOT greasy) with flaky and tender mild fish. Sparky has already asked for a repeat SOON. Thanks for sharing this stellar fish recipe!

7/16 So crispy and delish! 11/17 don't overcook fish!

Hands down the best breading I've ever made!! The only thing that I would change is the size of the chunks of fish. By the time the fish was cooked through the breading was almost too crispy. The smaller pieces were perfect. I would do 1 inch x 2 inch strips next time. I also used the same breading with Flounder instead of Halibut (for my kids.....Halibut is too expensive to buy enough for them.) It was delicious too! And took less time to cook. Overall a recipe definitely worth making!!

Next time I would add salt to the breadcrumbs and make way less wash. I hate wasting good farm eggs! Or, alternatively, I'd definitely buy more fish as my whole family ate this up fast!

Excellent crunchy coating! I also use this for chicken breast.

Great we loved this & will be making it again!!!

Used Cod with this and it was very good.

Used this breading recipe on catfish and everyone loved it. Will definitely make again

Loved it!

Excellent recipe. The panko adds a perfect level of crunch. The seasoned bread crumbs add a good flavor. I added some additional seasonings just because I like strong flavors. The best part about this recipe is once you do your fish, you can add some sweetened coconut flakes to the mix and use the same method to make coconut shrimp.

Simple and delicious. Put on hot dog bun with diced onion and pickle wasabi aioli and chopped lettuce with a little malt vinegar.

Something about the combination of bread and Panko crumbs creates a great crunchy crust!! It's a keeper for any type fish you fry! We have used it on walleye too!! Yum!

Will definitely make again. This will be our go to fish batter recipe! Next time we'll try smaller nugget sized pieces.

It's a good basic recipe, but a bit bland so I added some Old Bay seasoning which helped out. Also, watch your oil temp. Halibut cooks very quickly so you may need as little as 3 minutes, 5 or 6 minutes is way too long.

I used Perch and it came out crispy and perfectly fried!!

Delicious! This has become my go-to recipe for halibut fish and chips. It’s perfect!

I did not have bread crumbs, but it still turned out amazing. We also only cooked the 3" pieces about 2 minutes.

Oh my goodness! This was amazing ?? The halibut was super fresh from Costco.... Exceptional

i made this, first batch i cooked close to five minutes and quickly started reducing cook time to 3 minutes 45 seconds and monitored last half minute. These came out perfect, just add fresh lemon juice and dip in tarter sauce. i cut halibut in 1/2 inch strips.

I made it. Only difference was I used 1 egg. Oh and the bread crumbs was Kroger Traditional Bread Crumbs. Hey I'm cheap! But GREAT!!!!!

Family loved it. Made some homemade tartar sauce to o with it!

I loved it. I made no changes to the recipe. Seafood can be intimidating for me as I have little experience with it. But I followed the instructions exactly and it was the best fried fish I’ve ever made.

I used this recipe to make Black Sea Bass. I mixed all ingredients together and added more milk to thin out. I added salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and old bay. Then fried them. They are delicious.

yes, just finished enjoying my halibut. great recipe, we even air fried it. only thing I would add is salt, pepper and garlic to taste in mixture.

Made this by pan frying, came out delicious. Used original bread crumbs, so seasoned the halibut with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder prior to dipping in the egg mix.

This was delish. I’ve made this 2x, and once I subbed the milk for oatmilk and it was just as amazing. Thank you!!!

Was absolutely delicious just the way the recipe calls for!! My 6,8, and 9 year olds love halibut now!!

It turned out great. I just had seasoned bread crumbs and still was good!

Made this tonight and I have already had requests to make it again!
