Ingredients:

2 pounds cleaned carp fillets
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup pancake mix
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon dried lemon flakes

Directions:

Place fillet pieces in a shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk over them and let it stand for half an hour, turning the fillets over once during that time.

Stir the salt into the pancake mix.

Take fillets out of the buttermilk and pat them into the pancake mix, covering both sides.

Fry fillets in deep fryer or in hot oil in fry-pan for 5 - 10 minutes until cooked through and browned on both sides. Use tongs or slotted spoon to turn them. (If oil is too hot, they will brown too quickly and not cook within.)

Drain on paper towels.

Serve with lemon wedges if available.

Serves 4-6
