Capelin fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry capelin in a frying pan? Prepare everything you need for this. It is best, of course, to take fresh capelin. But most often it comes in frozen form. Therefore, it is necessary to remove it from the freezer in advance and let it thaw at room temperature. Then rinse the fish and dry it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a small bowl, mix flour with salt and spices. As a spice, I use a ready-made fish spice set.

3. STEP 3

   

   Dredge the fish on all sides in the flour mixture. Heat a frying pan until hot and pour in vegetable oil. Place the fish in flour and fry over low heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

4. STEP 4

   

   The fish is small, so it has time to fry quickly. It will turn golden.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the finished capelin from the pan and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fried capelin is ready! It is very tasty hot! Bon appetit!

Many people love capelin fried in a frying pan! Most often it is prepared for lunch or dinner and enjoyed by the whole family. So we decided to enjoy it today) We prepared it without spices, using only salt. Today we fried it in flour, but sometimes you can use semolina. Thanks for the simple recipe, it turned out great!

I really wanted fish today, I had frozen capelin. I prepared capelin fried in a frying pan according to this recipe. First I defrosted and cleaned the fish. From the spices I took a mixture of peppers and salt. The fish turned out very tasty, tender with a crispy crust! Simply delicious! . Thanks for the recipe!

Have I really found like-minded people in capelin! I can't believe my eyes. Everyone complains every now and then - it’s difficult to clean and cook and even eat. They don’t even know how easy it is to do and how delicious it is! I just want to remember the joke about cats... but you just don’t know how to cook them)). Sorry...dark humor...on a culinary site... Of course, I fried the capelin, devoured it and wanted more. In the photo I have it without a head - that’s how I cleaned it. I also have our younger brothers - don’t offend them, they also want to feast on capelin, although they only get the head.
