Good Ole Fried Bream Recipe
There’s nothing quite like the taste of freshly fried bream, a classic Southern dish that’s both simple and delicious. Whether caught from a local fishing spot or bought fresh from the market, bream (also known as bluegill or sunfish) has a delicate, mild flavor that pairs perfectly with a crispy, seasoned coating. This traditional recipe brings back memories of family fish fries, where good food and good company came together over a plate of golden fried fish. Here’s how to make it just like it was done back in the day.
Ingredients
- 4-6 whole bream, cleaned and scaled (heads and tails can be left on for a traditional look, or removed if preferred)
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
