Light and Crispy Fried Halibut

Light and Crispy Fried Halibut delivers a crackling, golden crust thanks to a mix of panko and seasoned breadcrumbs, while the fish stays moist and flaky inside. It’s a standout for fish-and-chips nights or any casual dinner where you want a delicate crunch and clean, briny flavor. Serve hot with lemon and your favorite dipping sauce.

Light and Crispy Fried Halibut
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs, milk, and flour together in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, stir the panko bread crumbs and seasoned bread crumbs together.

  3. 3

    Gently dip the halibut into the egg mixture, then press it gently into the bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded halibut, unstacked, on a plate. Repeat with the remaining halibut.

  4. 4

    Lower the halibut carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining halibut.
