Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds 3 ounces fresh whiting (heads removed and stomach cavities cleaned)
Optional: 2 teaspoons of Moroccan fish spice blend
Dash salt
Dash pepper
1/2 cup flour
1 cup vegetable oil
Optional: lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Wash each fish, checking to be sure the stomach cavities are clean; drain thoroughly.
  • Sprinkle the fish with about 2 teaspoons of the Moroccan Fish Spice, and a little bit of salt if desired. Alternatively, season the fish to taste with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper.
  • Place the seasoned whiting in a colander set in a deep bowl and cover tightly; leave in the fridge until ready to cook. (The fish can be prepped up to this point and then refrigerated for up to a day.)
  • When ready to fry, place the flour on a plate or shallow dish. Lightly coat the fish with the flour, shaking off the excess, and set aside in a single layer on a tray.
  • Pour enough vegetable oil into a frying pan to fully coat the bottom, and heat for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.
  • Cook the fish in batches, turning only once, until light to medium golden on both sides. Do not crowd the pan. Add a little more oil if needed. For very small whiting, the frying will only be several minutes on each side. For larger whiting, you might find it takes up to 7 to 8 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Then transfer the fish to a serving platter. Serve room temperature or warm, with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.

Provided by Jane Gib

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons flour
whiting fish fillets

Steps:

  • work flour, baking powder and eggs together, (if too thick, add some milk).
  • clean the fish and cut into strips.
  • dip into the flour and then into the batter mixture and fry in very hot oil.
  • serve with any sauce of your choice.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the whiting fillets are evenly cooked, make sure they are all of a similar thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets to an even thickness.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding the fillets.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and will also cause the oil to splatter.
  • Fry the fish in batches if necessary. This will ensure that all of the fillets are cooked evenly.
  • To test if the fish is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fish is cooked through, the fork will easily slide in and out.
  • Serve the fried whiting with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, remoulade sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Moroccan fried whiting is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavorful marinade adds a delicious depth of flavor. Serve the fried whiting with a variety of dipping sauces and enjoy!
