Crispy breaded fish

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses

With breaded fish the coating's role is protection: the flour-egg-breadcrumb layer forms a hard armour in the hot oil, preventing the fish's delicate, watery flesh from directly contacting the 170-180°C oil. Thus the fish essentially steams in its own juices inside, whilst the outer shell becomes crispy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse the fish slices and pat completely dry with kitchen paper. Season with salt.

Tip: Moisture is the enemy of breading. After salting wait a few minutes, then wipe off the drawn-out water again.
2 ✓

Prepare the breading station: 1. plate flour, 2. plate beaten egg (with a little salt), 3. plate breadcrumbs.

Tip: Beat the egg with a fork until uniform, otherwise the coating will be patchy.
3 ✓

Toss the fish in flour, shake off excess. Dip in egg, let drip. Finally toss in breadcrumbs and press on gently.

Tip: Only a thin flour layer is needed! If too much flour, the egg won't stick to the fish.
4 ✓

Heat the oil. Fry the fish over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Tip: The oil should at least half cover the slices. Do not pierce with a fork as fish juices will escape!
5 ✓

Drain on a rack or kitchen paper.

Tip: Do not cover after frying, as steam will soften the coating.

Recipe FAQ

The coating fell off during frying, why?
The fish was wet. Always wipe slices completely dry before breading, otherwise the flour turns to paste and slides off.
The crumbs burnt but the fish is raw.
The oil was too hot, or the fish slice too thick. Thicker slices must be fried more slowly.
