Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fish:
Begin by rinsing the pindang tongkol fish thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities. Once cleaned, cut each fish in half to create manageable pieces for frying. -
Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the beaten egg. Season with ground pepper and salt. Note that since pindang tongkol is slightly salty from the curing process, you may need to adjust the amount of salt to your preference. -
Coat the Fish:
Dip each piece of fish into the flour and egg mixture, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before frying. -
Fry the Fish:
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated fish pieces to the skillet. Fry the fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. -
Serve:
Remove the fish from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious Indonesian fried fish with your favorite side dishes.
This simple yet flavorful recipe brings a taste of Indonesian cuisine to your table, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
