Fish in batter is a dish where pieces of fish are dipped in batter and fried on a frying pan until golden brown. Batter is a mixture of eggs, flour, and liquid (usually milk or water) that is used for dipping food before frying or for making pancakes, fritters, and so on.
Here is a simple recipe for fish in batter on a frying pan:
Ingredients:
- 500 g of fish fillet (e.g. cod or sea bass);
- 1 egg;
- 100 ml of milk;
- 100 g of flour;
- 1 teaspoon of salt;
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions:
- Cut the fish into pieces approximately 5x5 cm in size.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg with milk, salt, and pepper. Gradually add flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little oil.
- Dip each piece of fish in the batter and place on the frying pan.
- Fry the fish in batter on the frying pan on both sides until it becomes golden brown and crispy. This will take about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- When the fish in batter is ready, remove it from the frying pan and place it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve the fish in batter on a frying pan with lemon slices and herbs.
Enjoy your meal!
