- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

- Dip each fish fillet into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture until well coated.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the fish fillets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
