- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup self-rising yellow cornmeal
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cajun / creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
- 12 whole pickled okra or you can use prepared pickled okra
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
In the same skillet or large Dutch oven in which you cooked the fish, heat oil to 350 degrees.
In a shallow dish or plate, combine cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper.
In a small shallow bowl, whisk eggs and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce.
Coat okra with the egg mixture, then liberally coat okra with the cornmeal mixture. Once oil reaches 350 degrees, fry in batches until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove okra to a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. You can put a paper towel over the sheet to catch the oil.
