  • Carefully add the fish to the hot oil. Cook until golden brown.

Cheese Grits

  • Start by bringing the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add some salt and stir in the grits. Once the grits have submerged, add in cheese. Cook everything over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until those grits are tender - about 10 to 15 minutes should do it for the perfect fish and grits recipe.
