Pan-fried Bass - tubeN2 - 03-01-2005
4 Striped Bass, cleaned, head and tails removed
Bacon drippings
Corn meal
Salt and pepper
Wipe the fish with a cloth dipped in lightly salted water. Rub the fish lightly with bacon drippings and roll in corn meal. Dust a little salt and pepper in the cavities. Heat bacon drippings in a cast iron fry pan. Drippings should be 1/4 - 1/2 inch deep and hot enough to brown a 1 inch cube of bread in 2 minutes (no hotter). Cook fish until it is browned on one side, about 4 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side. Drain on paper towel before serving.
