MOROCCAN FRIED WHITING FISH
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.

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!
