Fish is a great meatless main dish to cook. Pan frying fish is a crispy, tasty way to enjoy white fish. Halibut fish, Haddock, and cod fish, are good white fish to pan fry.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1-2 pounds white fish
  • Batter for fish-
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  1. Step 1

    Fresh Fish-

    Start with the white fish of your choice. Rinse each fish fillet well, and dry off after rinsing.

  2. Step 2

    Heat Oil & Cut fish-

    Pour oil into the pan,about 1 1/2 " deep. Start heating the oil on medium heat.

    To prepare to fry the fish,cut it first in manageable pieces.Right around 4-5" is a good size.

  3. Step 3

    Mix batter-

    In a bowl, mix the batter until silky smooth. Submerge the fish pieces in.

  4. Step 4

    Coat the fish fillet in the batter and use a slotted spoon to shake off extra batter.

  5. Step 5

    Start Frying-

    When the oil is hot enough, add your fish to start frying. Not sure if the oil is ready for frying? Throw in a piece of bread, if the bread floats to the top and starts to turn golden brown, the oil is ready.

  6. Step 6

    Fry-

    Cook each piece until golden brown. If the oil doesn't completely cover the fish, cook about 4 minutes on each side, or until brown.

  7. Step 7

    After your fish is done, take out and place on a paper towel, to adsorb the extra oil.
