There’s something timeless about a classic fish fry—crispy, golden fillets shared around the table with family and friends. Chef Cameron’s Brown Butter Parmesan Fried Fish elevates this Southern-inspired favorite with a crunchy fish-fry coating, rich brown-butter parmesan seasoning, and a bold finish of black garlic hot sauce. Whether you’re using fresh cod, trout, or catfish, this easy fried fish recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor at home and pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of Priest Ranch Grenache Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc. Inspired by Chef Cameron’s childhood memories of end-of-summer fish fries, this meal is made for gathering before the season slips away.
