Instructions:
For the Fish:
- Prepare the Fillets: Cut the sole fillets into 4-inch strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Ensure to cut down rather than across to prevent the fish from breaking.
- Season the Flour: In a bowl, season the plain flour with salt and pepper.
- Coat the Fish: Pass each fish strip through the seasoned flour until evenly coated.
For the Breadcrumbs:
- Prepare Breadcrumbs: Decrust the old loaves and cut them into chunks. Blend them until you get nice, dry, fine breadcrumbs. You should have around 5 cups of breadcrumbs.
Frying:
- Heat the Oil: Pour corn oil into a frying pan and heat it until it’s hot but not smoking.
- Coat and Fry: Dip each fish strip into the beaten eggs, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Deep fry the coated fish strips in the hot oil until they turn golden brown, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Drain and Dry: Once fried, drain the goujons of sole on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serving:
- Presentation: Arrange the crispy fish strips on a serving dish lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
- Accompaniments: Serve the goujons of sole hot, accompanied by lemon wedges and a selection of sauces such as mayonnaise, thousand island dressing, and tartar sauce.
