1 1/2 cups finely ground white or yellow cornmeal

Wash and thoroughly dry fillets; place in a bowl with milk to cover and set aside.  Mix
cornmeal and seasonings together in a pie plate.  One at a time, remove fillets from
milk and coat evenly with cornmeal mixture.  Arrange on wax paper and dry in refrigerator
