SOUTHERN FRIED FISH

5 to 10 pounds crisco vegetable shortening
2 cups corn meal
1 cup flour
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 1/2 pounds fresh fish fillets (I like Bass, Crappie or Bream)

In a deep fryer over med high heat melt Crisco.

Mix dry ingredients in a large paper bag. Drop fillets in 1-2 at a time and shake well.

Drop into hot grease 4-6 at a time and fry until golden brown. About 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm. Repeat with remaining fish.
