    When cooking fish with cornmeal, do I need to use flour as well as the eggs?
    Community Answer
    Mix equal parts flour and cornmeal and season it a bit. Dip fish into beaten egg, then into flour/cormeal/seasoning mixture. The result will be a thin crunchy layer over flaky fish.

    Yes, but it might ruin the texture and quality of the fish. It might not be as crispy as when you fried it.

    The coating should be okay if it's only one hour. There is a risk that the breadcrumbs will get a little bit soggy if they're left uncooked for too long.

    How can I bread stuffed fillets of fish?
    Community Answer
    Dip the fish in egg, then coat in flour, then dip the floured fish into milk and coat it a second time in bread crumbs. The double dip helps keep the breading from breaking apart in the pan.
