Tips for Perfect Fish Breading
1. Use Fresh Fish
When making fish breading, it's important to use fresh fish. Fresh fish will have a better texture and flavor than frozen fish.
2. Don't Overcrowd the Pan
When frying the fish, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will cause the fish to cook unevenly and may result in soggy breading.
3. Use a Thermometer
To ensure that the oil is at the correct temperature, use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil. The ideal temperature for frying fish is between 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Drain the Fish
After frying the fish, it's important to drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
