Crispy Pecan Fish Fillet

- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon red hot pepper sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 pound butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup parsley leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- WASH THE FISH FILLETS under cold running water, and place them in a bowl with the milk, Tabasco and salt.
- Allow them to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Just before cooking, drain the fillets and dredge them in the cornmeal.
- Heat 2 tablespoon of the butter and vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat.

- Remove from the pan with a slotted spatula, drain on paper towels.
- Repeat until all fish is fried.
- Keep warm.
- Pour grease out of the skillet, and add the remaining butter.
