Fish in a fur coat

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a fish in a fur coat? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take the fish. I have tilapia, moreover, fillet. Therefore there were no special problems. In another situation, the fish is cleaned and all bones are removed. In short, we need fillet that needs to be cut into pieces. Frozen fish must be thawed in advance. You will learn about the intricacies of defrosting in the article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the fillet under running water, dry with paper towels and cut into portions.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now let’s start “sewing” our unusual fur coat. Take the potatoes, wash them with a brush under running water, peel them and grate them on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Now you can put a frying pan or saucepan on the stove to heat the oil. Salt the potatoes, season with spices and beat in the egg. Wash the egg first to remove dirt from it. Juice will begin to release almost instantly. Then, before frying, we’ll squeeze it out! You can add any spices to your taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix everything well, but carefully. Without rubbing too much, rub the fish with salt and spices (keep in mind that potatoes also contain salt and spices), and then roll each piece in flour.

6. STEP 6

   

   Squeeze out the released juice from the potato mass and “put” it on the fish pieces. You have to sort of smooth it with your hand, giving it shape.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place our preparations on the heated oil. Fry the fish on each side until golden brown over moderate heat. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read the separate articles at the end of this recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   The fire should only be high at first, to heat up the pan, then low, so that the fish has time to fry. Garnish the finished fish in batter with herbs and any sauce, if desired. Bon appetit!

A two-in-one dish, fish and side dish, thank you. I know this option - mackerel with potatoes in the oven.
