Butter-fried fish and corn

I have an older version of this recipe. The fish fillets are seasoned, dredged in flour and deep fried until golden. The sauce, thickened with a little starch, is cooked separately. Then, the sauce is poured over the crisp fish. It’s a dish that’s best served right after cooking.
But for a packed school lunch, it might not taste so great after hours in a sealed lunch box. The fish, with its coating, would be soggy and the sauce would be runny. So, I did a simpler version for the kids’ school lunch today. No sauce — just pan fry the fish, corn and some chopped onions in butter.
You don’t really need to cook the fish for so long to achieve that light brown coloring. As the chopped onions cook, the sugar content of the onion will caramelize and make the fish a little more brown than pan frying will allow.

Your fish looks so good and tasty!
Let’s just say my mouth is watering! lol I love fish, but my hubs is not a fan of it. So I don’t cook it here @ home @ all. The only time I can eat fish is when I’m visiting family and they happen to have fish being served. So when fish is not being served @ the table anywhere I am going.. this is my next best thing to eating it. lol I’m admiring the yummy looking fish and I wish I could just reach out and grab some right outta the computer screen. Tita Con, you take such great pictures!! Every picture makes me wish I could reach out and have a sample po. lol 
Aloha, everything about blogging is a learning process — including taking better photos. Practice makes perfect.
Fridays here in Poland is strictly no meat. It is a long time catholic tradition here. So, I have to think what non-meat recipe to cook on a friday. Besides the fact that, my hubby is not a vege eater, i really have to think of a possible menu that willl he will surely eat. If I cook veges I have to add some meat on it or hide the veges on the meat. When I found your site it was a great help.
It’s a good one for lent too.
I tried this recipe today, and it was a hit in my kitchen. My hubby likes it so much. Surely, he will request this recipe over and over again on fridays.
Kudos to your site..you are truly an inspiration.
