salt and pepper to taste
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt

1 egg white, stiffly beaten
vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
Dry fillets throughly; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl; drop egg yolks in center. Add water and 1 T. oil; stir well.
Fold egg white into batter. Dip fillets into batter and fry until golden on both sides in 1/4 inch of oil heated to 370 degrees F. Drain on paper towels.
