Servings: persons

4 tilapia fillets (any boneless fish works, e.g. haddock, sole)
1 egg (binding agent, may need two if they are smaller)
1 lemon
fresh thyme sprig (a few will do, more for garnish or decor)
1/2 cup flour
salt
pepper
chili powder
paprika
cumin
oregano
spices (any that you like!)
vegetable oil (for frying)

1
thaw the fish if frozen - rinse it under water and pat dry if you wish.
2
preheat about an inch of oil in a pan.
3
cut the fillets into smaller pieces if you want.
4
crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat - add a pinch of salt and pepper.
5
prepare the spiced fish fry coating - mix roughly 50:50 flour:spices. I suggest adding a fair amount of salt and pepper, and also chili powder if you like it hot. ANY COMBO OF SPICES WORK, be liberal. MIX UNTIL HOMOGENOUS.
6
dip the fish in egg - let the extra egg drip off (tap against the side of bowl).
7
coat both sides of the egged up fish in the frying coating.
8
carefully (hot oil is dangerous!) fry both sides of the fish in the oil until golden brown on both sides, and the inside of the fish is flaky and white.
9
dry on paper towels lined with a bed of thyme.
10
garnish with lemon wedges and thyme sprigs (optional).
