Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 7m

Yield 12 large fillets, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup flour
1 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
1 tablespoon basil

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Coat fish fillets on both sides.
  • Deep fry and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: White-fleshed fish with a mild flavor, such as cod, haddock, or flounder, are best for deep-frying. Avoid oily fish, such as salmon or tuna, as they tend to fall apart when fried.
  • Use a light and fluffy batter: A batter made with beer, club soda, or sparkling water will create a light and crispy coating. Avoid using heavy or dense batters, as they will make the fish greasy.
  • Season the batter well: Add salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to the batter for extra flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy kick.
  • Coat the fish evenly: Make sure the fish is completely coated in batter before frying. If the batter is too thick, it will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Fry the fish at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for deep-frying fish is between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C). If the oil is too hot, the fish will overcook on the outside and remain raw on the inside. If the oil is too cold, the fish will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the fryer: Fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent the oil temperature from dropping too low.
  • Drain the fish on paper towels: After frying, transfer the fish to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried fish is a delicious and popular dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure your deep-fried fish is crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're craving some fried fish, don't be afraid to give it a try at home!
