Fish can be fried by immersing it in oil, or you can only in a lightly greased frying pan. Small fish is fried whole, for example, smelt. Large fish is cut into fillet or into pieces with a ridge, but no thicker than three centimeters, so that the fish can evenly fry. If you take pieces with unripened skin, pierce it so that the piece does not curl. Especially tender is a breaded fish.

Instruction manual
1
Rinse the fish under running water and place on a board. If you have a whole fish, then cut it into portions, do not remove the skin, and cut the ridge with a sharp knife. Pierce a piece of the tip with the tip of the blade in several places on the skin side. The processed carcass can be immediately cut into portions, or you can fry the whole, as long as it is placed in a pan.
2
Make one of the breading: First option. Combine the flour and salt in a deep and wide bowl. Add pepper to taste. Bread the bread in a breading and put in a skillet.
3
The second option. Place a bowl with a beaten egg, a deep plate with breadcrumbs, and another bowl of flour. Take a piece of fish, dry it with a napkin and roll in flour. Then dip in a beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Put the fish in boiling oil.
4
The third option. Mix eggs in a wide bowl with milk, like an omelet. Salt. Pour breadcrumbs or bread crumbs into a plate next to it. Grate hard cheese and mix it with breadcrumbs. Dip a piece of fish in the egg and milk mixture, then bread with cheese and put in a hot oil.
5
The fourth option. Peel fresh potatoes. Rub it on a fine grater. Mix with chopped hard cheese. Roll the pieces of fish dried in a towel in flour mixed with salt, and then in a potato-cheese mixture and put in a frying pan.
6
Fry fish in a thick-bottomed pan. Such dishes warm evenly and the product is obtained with a good crust and juicy inside.
7
Place the pieces of fish in a hot oil so that the crust immediately seizes and all the juices remain in the piece of fish, and do not flow into the pan.
8
If you fry thick pieces of fish and are afraid to dry it on a burner, then cover the pan with a lid and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
9
Serve mashed potatoes or crumbly porridge with fried fish. Pour the portioned sauces or make the gravy separately in the gravy boat. Sprinkle fried fish with chopped fresh herbs.
