Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make fish with mayonnaise in batter? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can take any fish — white or red, fresh or frozen. I have fresh pollock fillet. Frozen fish must first be thawed. Read about all the intricacies of proper defrosting in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. You can make your own mayonnaise. You will find recipes for homemade mayonnaise after the last step.

Step 4
The dough should be thick. Leave the batter for 2-3 minutes so that it thickens a little more when the gluten is released from the flour. The batter should be viscous enough so as not to run off the fish like water. If the batter is too liquid, add a little more flour.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Read about how to choose the perfect frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe. Place the battered fish in one layer. There should be enough oil so that the fish is immersed in it halfway or more. Fry for a few minutes until golden brown. Then turn the fish over to the other side and fry until golden brown.
