Step 1
Thinly slice the 1 red onion and toss with the 0.25 cup white vinegar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside to quick-pickle while you cook.
Step 2
Cut the fish into 2-inch pieces. Pat all seafood dry with paper towels. Set up a dredging station: 1 cup flour in one bowl, 2 beaten eggs in another.
Step 3
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles immediately, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, dip seafood pieces in egg, then coat in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 4
Working in batches, fry the seafood for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning once. Drain on paper towels and season with salt immediately.
Step 5
Serve the fried seafood hot with the pickled onions and your favorite fries on the side.
