Step 1
Since this fish is offered frozen in most stores in our country, it must be defrosted before frying the hake. In order for the fish not to lose its juiciness, it must be defrosted at natural temperature. Acceleration of the process by immersing the fish in hot water leads to the loss of the juices contained in the fish. When the fish thaws, it is necessary to trim the fins and remove the entrails from it, if any, since the quality of the production evisceration varies. Then the fish is washed and you can start cooking it.
Step 2
Fried hake fish can be prepared according to two recipes, which are based on flour or batter. To fry fish in flour, you need to cut it into portioned pieces, then salt the fish, roll in flour and put in a pan with heated vegetable oil. If you start frying the fish in a cold skillet, the crust will not be so even and golden, as the fish will start to stew, not fry. The fire should be large enough for the fish to be fried without burning. When frying, the hake is turned over so that a crust forms on all sides. 15 minutes is enough for the fish to be ready.
Step 3
In order to cook fried hake in batter, it is necessary to beat an egg, a tablespoon of mineral water or beer, salt and flour until a homogeneous consistency. The consistency of the batter should resemble thick sour cream. The oil is heated in a frying pan and pieces of fish are laid out on it, pre-dipped in batter. If the oil is not hot enough, then the batter will not set, but spread. The fish is fried over medium heat on all sides until tender.
