1 cup buttermilk
1 eggs
35 saltine crackers
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Cut the grouper fillets in half lengthwise.
Then cut into 1 inch strips. (use scissors).
Place nuggets of grouper in a bowl with the buttermilk and hot sauce.
Refrigerate 30-60 minutes.
Heat oil in a pot or heat your electric fryer.
Using your hand, strain out the buttermilk and then crack the egg into the bowl.
Mix the egg around.
Put the crackers, garlic salt, and pepper into a food processor and process until pretty finely ground. (not too fine).
