For an extra crispy coating, try double-dredging the fish. Feel free to experiment with different spices to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have shortening, vegetable oil or canola oil can be used as substitutes. Serve immediately with your favorite tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and chips for a classic meal.
