Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure the fish is completely dry before dredging to prevent the coating from falling off during frying. Fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. Keep the heat consistent throughout the frying process to achieve a crispy exterior and fully cooked interior.Nutrition
