Chicken Fried Cod
(QVC)

In a bowl, combine the cod with the buttermilk, herbs, and spices. Soak the cod at room temperature for at least 1 hour. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Fill a medium skillet halfway with oil, and heat until the oil reaches about 350° F. Remove the cod from the buttermilk, and dredge it in the flour.

Garlic-Orange Grouper Bites
(QVC)

Cut the grouper into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the grouper pieces in half the orange juice for about 1 hour. Remove and pat them dry with paper towels. Then, marinate them in the milk for about 15 minutes. Dredge them in the flour and shake off the excess. Pour the oils into a skillet and quickly fry the scallions and garlic. When the garlic is just turning color, add the fish chunks and fry them, turning frequently to get all sides golden brown. Remove just the fish chunks to a serving dish and keep warm. Melt the additional butter in the skillet, stirring constantly, and add the remaining orange juice and the orange and lemon slices. Let the juice warm. Then, spoon just the juice over the fish chunks, garnish with the basil, and serve. Makes 2 to 4 servings.
