Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry fish fillets in batter in a frying pan? First, prepare the fish fillet. It is better to choose fillets of white, lean fish, for example, pollock (like mine); hake, cod, and pike perch are also suitable. Red fish can also be prepared this way, but it still tastes better when baked in the oven. If the fillet is frozen, then defrost it first and squeeze it lightly. Read about all the intricacies of proper defrosting in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

Wash the fish fillets and dry with paper towels. Then cut the fillet into portions.

Dip the fish pieces into the batter. It should completely cover the fish.

Step 11

Step 11
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Read about how to choose the ideal frying pan, as well as how to choose the right oil for frying, in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe. Fry the battered fish in a frying pan until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes on each side. The exact time depends on the size of the pieces of fish, the chosen frying pan and the operating characteristics of your stove. If desired, the fish can be deep-fried.
