Fried Fish

Fried fish (/fraɪd fɪʃ/) is a dish consisting of fish or other seafood that has been coated in batter or breading and then cooked by deep frying, pan frying, or baking. The dish is popular in many cultures and has various recipes and preparation methods.

Etymology

The term "fried fish" is derived from the English words "fry", which means to cook over direct heat in hot oil or fat, and "fish", referring to the aquatic animals. The combination of these words describes the cooking method and the main ingredient of the dish.

Preparation and Varieties

Fried fish is prepared by coating the fish in a mixture of flour, egg, and water or milk, known as batter. The fish is then submerged in hot oil until it turns golden brown. The type of fish used can vary, with popular choices including cod, haddock, and tilapia.

In addition to the traditional method, there are many regional variations of fried fish. For example, in the Southern United States, cornmeal is often used instead of flour for the breading. In Asia, fried fish is often served with a side of rice and soy sauce.

Health Considerations

While fried fish can be a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, it is also high in calories and fat due to the frying process. It is recommended to consume fried fish in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
