What is bronzed fish?

Bronzed fish refers to a method of cooking fish in which it is coated in a mixture of spices, herbs, and flour, and then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. The spices used in the coating can vary, but typically include paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. The dish is said to have originated in the American South, particularly in Louisiana, where it is often served with a side of rice and beans, greens, or cornbread. Bronzed fish is typically made using firm, white fish such as snapper, catfish, or tilapia, and is a popular and flavorful way to prepare fish for both casual and formal dining occasions.
