I'm gonna toss in that just about any panfish is great just fried in butter with onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon. Nothing wrong with the classics.
Number two; a pan-fry and some Cajun seasoning.
Three; grab some Thai-style sweet chili sauce (comes in a bottle) and some sesame oil from the your local Asian market. Mix a half cup of the chili sauce with 2 tsp. sesame oil. Fry the fish up in a pretty hot pan with peanut oil (butter won't take the level of heat you want.) You want a little glaze or color on the fish, but avoid going all the way to black. Drizzle that sweet, tangy, toasty goodness over your fillets and eat with buttered rice and stir-fried veggies like cabbage, greens, broccoli, snow peas, green beans, etc. Just a hot pan, a little oil, garlic and a shake of ginger and salt.
Finally, if you are serious about frying fish, Panko is great, but again, the Asian foods markets have the secret sauce: a fantastic Korean style frying mix. Best I have used, great results, hard to screw up, can be used as a batter or a light wash, in deep or shallow oil, makes decent tempura, etc. Yellow bag, Korean writing.

In this page, it's the one on the right, just for reference. Both of the Ocean Marts have it, and the big Chinatown Market on State Street in Salt Lake, too.
