Lea’s No-Carb Parmesan Fried Fish

Pin It

This is a delicious way to fry battered fish without any carbs. Since my husband is diabetic, he avoids all carbs (so he doesn’t need medicine), yet he loves fried fish. I came up with a way to “batter” the fish without using any carbs. The secret? Parmesan cheese.

Lea’s No-Carb Parmesan Fried Fish

1. My husband caught striped bass from the ocean, which is what we used to make this. You can use any solid fish (cod, haddock), but not flounder or sole as they are too thin. Take your fish and chop it up into inch-sized pieces.

1b. You’ll also want to start melting a stick of butter over medium-high heat in a large pan (I use cast iron).

2. In a bowl, whip three eggs. Toss a dozen or so fish pieces at a time in the whipped eggs. Turn to coat well.

3. In another bowl, add 1 cup of finely shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss egg-coated fish in Parmesan cheese bowl.

4. Turn until all sides are coated well.

5. By now your butter has melted and is just starting to turn brown and bubbly (perfect!).


6. Drop the coated fish into the bubbly butter, one at a time, making sure you leave a little elbow room between the pieces so they can brown on all sides.


7. Fry 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until fish is done and bright white.


8. Serve and enjoy right away :)

  11. I’m going to try this, since I usually batter my fish in flour but want to cut that out where I can.
