Bread and Fry Fish – That’s How It Works

Breading Fish – The list of ingredients

Before you can start the actual preparation, it is important to have the appropriate ingredients ready. With these, you can easily and quickly bread and fry fish. For 4 servings you will need:

• 8 fish fillets
• 5 tbsp flour
• 2 eggs
• 7 tablespoons breadcrumbs (breadcrumbs)
• Some lemon juice
• Some salt and pepper
• Some olive oil (alternatively: clarified butter)
• 1 pan
• 3 large plates (for preparing the breading)
• 1 fork or whisk (for whisking the eggs)
• Possibly 1 pair of tweezers (to remove the bones)

Breading and frying fish – step-by-step instructions

Breaded fish tastes best when it is crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. With the following recipe, you can create the perfect fish in just a few steps and conjure up a delicious meal on your plate.

1. If the fish still has bones, carefully remove them with tweezers. Rinse the fish under cold water and then pat dry. Next, drizzle the fish with some lemon juice. Then add a little salt and pepper to the fish.
2. Use three plates for the breading. Arrange flour on a plate. On the second, crack the eggs and whisk them with a fork or whisk. Put the breadcrumbs on the third plate.
3. For breading, first place the fish fillets in the flour (both sides one after the other), then pull them through the beaten eggs, and finally turn the fish fillets in the breadcrumbs.
4. Place the breaded fish (ideally side by side) on a board or plate. In a stacked layer it can happen that the breading of two fish parts connect and thus detaches from a fish fillet.
5. Heat some olive oil (alternatively: clarified butter) in a pan. Once the fat is hot, add the breaded fish fillets to the pan and fry over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.
6. You can now arrange the finished fish fillets on plates. It is best to add lemon slices as well. Boiled potatoes, jacket potatoes, potato salad, but also rice, various vegetables, or a mixed salad are ideal as a side dish. If you like, you can also serve remoulade with the fish.
