Thanks for the feedback everyone. I definitely can't do flour because I don't eat any grains (the gluten does bad things to my digestive system... details I don't need to go into lol) but I do like to substitute coconut flour often especially in fried chicken or fish recipes and that's what we did. We tried a few different ways (olive oil, coconut oil, dipped in egg, no egg, different spices) and the winning combo was coconut flour with garlic powder, a bit of salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Dip it in egg, then get that batter all over it, put it in some very hot olive oil for a few minutes on each side.

That was delicious! Definitely messy though. If I decide to do this more often I might invest in some sort of fryer. Most white fish meat tastes the same as was the case with these little guys but the texture makes it really good. The skin is good too when it's nice and crispy, like skin off some fried chicken.
