The batter is sufficient to coat enough fish for 4 people – you can double up on the batter ingredients if you are cooking for more. I used basa fillets because that’s what I had in the freezer, but you could substitute this with any firm white fish such as cod or haddock.Ī typical serving of fish is between 3 to 4 ounces per person (or 85 to 110 grams) so you can take this into account when deciding how much fish you need to cook. To start with you will need some skinless fish fillets. **The complete list of ingredients and concise instructions for making this pan-fried fish can be found on the printable recipe card at the end of this post** (Keep the kitchen towel away from the heating element or bring the oven up to temperature and then switch it off before putting the dish in the oven). I normally fry fish in two batches and keep the first batch warm in the oven (100C / 212F) in a dish lined with kitchen towel. Don’t overcrowd the pan – leave enough room around the fish fillets so that you can turn them easily.As a rule of thumb you will need to fry the fish for between 3 and 4 minutes per side. Rather cut the fillets in half before frying as the thicker loin pieces will need a slightly longer cooking time than the thinner tail pieces. Cod especially is much thicker around the loin area than the tail. Use fillets of fish which are the same thickness all the way through.Trying to turn the fish with a fork or a pair of tongs is an invitation for the fish to break up. You need to support the fish as you turn it. If it stick, give it a few seconds longer. Give the fish a gently nudge – if it moves on the pan it is ready to turn. Don’t try to turn the fish before it has browned on one side.If you fry fish directly from the refrigerator it will cool the oil down. The fish should be at room temperature.If it doesn’t sizzle then the pan is not hot enough and you should let it heat a few seconds longer.
You should hear a gently sizzle when you add the fish.(You can do the same test with a small cube of bread). It should start to turn brown in 40 seconds. Heat the oil in the pan until the oil is just shimmering, then test it by dropping a teaspoonful of batter into the oil. If you add the fish to cold oil then the oil will just get absorbed into the batter, resulting in greasy fish. The oil should be hot before you add the fish.I like to place my fish fillets between a double layer of paper towel and then press them gently to absorb any excess moisture. The fish should be completely dry before you coat it in batter.This will allow the fish to brown evenly. You should use a frying pan with a heavy base that distributes the heat evenly without creating any hot-spots. The pan that you use is very important.Here's what the tasters liked and disliked.
Crispiness of the coating or batter was also considered. All the fish products were cooked in a toaster oven according to the package directions. Testers graded the brands overall on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the best in taste, texture or fish quality. McDonald's, Wendy's, Chick-fil-A and more serve up fish sandwiches for LentĪn Ohio man is consuming only beer for Lent. In addition, we tried, but didn't rank, Gorton's newest offering: craft beer-battered fish bites. The fish fillets were a mix of cod and pollock, and we got most of them at sale prices. In the mix were national brands, as well as store brands from Aldi, Kroger, Meijer and Sam's Club.

We rounded up several brands of frozen fish for an informal taste test among Free Press staffers. There's also an abundance of frozen battered fish in grocery stores. During Lent, battered fish shows up at church fish fries and many restaurants run it as a special.
