Paleo Breaded Fish
This is a great tasting “breaded” fried fish recipe.
By substituting paleo ingredients for bread crumbs you can have a great compliant meal.
While we recommend cod or halibut you can really use any fish you like.
Serve with a side of broccoli or sweet potato fries and enjoy!

Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff.

Heat the lard in a deep fryer or frying pan. Wait till it comes up to temperature.

Place in the fish pieces in the deep fryer. Cook for about 3 minutes then flip the fish. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Make sure the fish is cooked all the way through.
