Instructions

Marinate the Fish:
Begin by preparing the marinade for the Dory fillet. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well. Place the thinly sliced Dory fillet into the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated with the seasoning. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (you can leave it overnight for more intense flavor). -
Prepare the Egg Dip:
While the fish is marinating, whisk the egg in a separate bowl. This will serve as the binder for the crispy coating. -
Make the Crispy Coating:
In another bowl, mix together the cornstarch and all-purpose flour to create the crispy coating. Set aside. -
Coat the Fish:
After marinating, take the fillet pieces and dip them into the egg mixture. Ensure that each piece is well-coated in egg. Then, transfer the fish to the flour mixture, gently pressing each piece into the flour to make sure the coating sticks. For an extra crispy result, you can lightly pinch the fillet pieces as you coat them. -
Fry the Fish:
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the coated fillet pieces into the oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. -
Serving:
Once crispy and golden, remove the fish from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the crispy Dory fillet hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or mayonnaise.
