  • 1 pound largemouth bass fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 0.5 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Place cornmeal, flour, seasoned salt, paprika, and pepper in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Zip and shake until evenly combined.
