Processed Seafood

Fish fry is a traditional dish of Italian cuisine, loved for its crispiness and delicious flavor. Using Don Gambero’s fish mixture, which includes red shrimp tails, pink shrimp tails, anchovy fillet, spiked squid, and cuttlefish, you can make a perfect fried fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Here’s how to make the best fish fry step by step.

• Fish Preparation

Make sure the fish mixture is thoroughly dry before flouring it. If necessary, gently pat it dry with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture. This step is critical to achieve a crispy fry.

• Flouring

Prepare a mixture of equal parts all-purpose flour and semolina flour. The semolina flour helps make the fry crispier. Dip the fish mixture in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is well coated.

• Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan, heat plenty of peanut oil to about 180°C (350°F). You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

• Frying

Fry the fish in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature too much. Cook the fish pieces until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pieces, but generally only a few minutes is needed.

• Drain and Salt

Drain the fried fish on paper towels to remove excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt immediately after frying, while the fish is still hot, to enhance the flavors.

1. Serving

Serve the fish fry hot, accompanied by lemon wedges, if desired. Fish fry is perfect as an appetizer, main course, or even as a tasty appetizer.
