Step 1
Pat the 1 lb fish fillets dry and cut into 4 equal pieces. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they stick. Place coated fish on a plate.
Step 3
Heat 0.5 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Fry the fish in a single layer without crowding, cooking until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 4
Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges from the 1 lemon for squeezing over.
