Cracker-Fried Fish

I love battered fried fish- beer batter especially- but I I think this crispy saltine coating is even better.

Place 2 beaten eggs in a shallow dish, and 1-1/2 cups (about 45) saltine crackers, crushed, in another. Dip 2 lbs white fish fillets, cut in half lengthwise, into the egg, then the crumbs. Fry in a skillet or deep fryer at 375. Make sure the oil is at 375 when you drop in the fish..fry a few at a time, about 2 minutes on each side or til golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Drain on paper towels and serve with lots of tartar sauce or vinegar.
