Ingredients

  • 4 (6 oz.) fish filets, such as catfish, tilapia or other firm white fish
  • 1⁄2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. Private Selection™ Carolina Inspired BBQ Sauce, divided

  • 1⁄2 cup milk
  • 1⁄2 cup cornmeal

  • Dip both sides of fish in barbecue sauce. Coat with flour. Dip in milk; then dip in cornmeal to coat entire filet.
