Fill a gallon resealable plastic bag with 3 cups wheat cereal. Using a rolling pin, lightly crush cereal into small crumbs. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, ranch dressing mix, and salt. Coat fish with seasoned flour mixture then shake off excess flour. Dip in eggs and roll in crushed cereal. Continue with remaining fillets. Carefully add 3 to 4 pieces in fryer and cook until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining fillets.
Serve with tartar sauce and seasoned chips.
Chips:
1 (1 pound) bag frozen extra crispy golden crinkles fries
No-salt "season-all" seasoning spice
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Arrange fries in a single layer on a sheet pan. Sprinkle liberally with seasoning. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp. Seasoning will act as a substitute for ketchup.
Tartar Sauce:
1/4 cup sweet relish
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper
In a small dish, strain relish and discard juices. In a separate bowl, combine strained relish with mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with fried halibut.
