Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry fish in flour in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. You can use any fish that you can freely buy in the store. Iʼll fry cod. Clean the fish, gut it, and rinse well in running water.

Step 2

Step 2
The fish should be dry. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and cut into portions. You can cut the fish into steaks, or you can remove the backbone and use fish fillets. Iʼll fry the fillet. It is very convenient when there are no bones in the fish.

Step 3

Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix flour with salt and spices. As a spice, take a ready-made set of fish spices. Mix everything.

Step 4

Step 4
Dredge each piece of fish thoroughly in the flour mixture until it is completely coated with flour. Thanks to this flour coating, the fish will not stick to the pan when frying and an appetizing crispy crust will form on it.

Step 5

Step 5
Use a wide frying pan for frying. If there is not enough oil, the fish will not be able to fry properly. Heat the pan well, but do not let the oil smoke. Keep an eye on this! If you donʼt heat it up enough, the fish may stick. Place fish pieces coated in flour. The pieces of fish should lie free from each other.

Step 6

Step 6
Fry the fish over high heat for 2-3 minutes (depending on the thickness of the piece) on each side. The second side will cook faster than the first. Thanks to high heat, a crust will immediately form and all the juices will remain inside the piece and the fish will be juicy.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the finished golden fish on a paper towel to remove any remaining oil.

Step 8

Step 8
The delicious fish is ready! Serve it with a potato side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!
