- Mix egg and water together in a large glass baking dish and let fish soak in it while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Spread flour on a sheet of wax paper, stir in salt and pepper, using a fork to blend. Spread chopped pecans on another large sheet of wax paper.
- Heat oil in large skillet or cast iron pan.
- Take each fish fillet out of egg mixture and dip one side into flour, gently shaking off excess. Lay the other side onto chopped pecans, pressing nuts into the filet.
- Place fillets nut side down in pan. Fry about 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Carefully turn over each fillet and finish cooking, 4 to 6 minutes or until center is opaque and fish flakes easily.
