• 1 cup mayonnaise
• Green Onions

How to Make Battered Grouper Bites With Jalapeno Tartar Sauce

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of biscuit mix, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
2. Cut 1 pound of grouper fillets into 1-inch pieces.
3. Dip each grouper piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F).
5. Carefully place the battered grouper pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the grouper for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the cooked grouper bites from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
8. While the grouper is cooking, prepare the jalapeño tartar sauce: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve the hot, crispy grouper bites immediately with the jalapeño tartar sauce for dipping. Garnish with extra dill or lime wedges, if desired.
