Ingredients
| Main Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Dory fish fillets | 4 pieces |
| Lime juice | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic | 3 cloves (minced) |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| Chicken stock powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Eggs | 2 (beaten) |
| Dry Coating Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 5 tablespoons |
| Cornstarch | 1 tablespoon |
Instructions
| Step | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Clean the fish: Start by thoroughly washing the dory fish fillets under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. |
| 2 | Remove the fishy odor: Rub the fillets with lime juice and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This helps remove any fishy odor. Rinse again under water and pat dry. |
| 3 | Prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, ground pepper, and chicken stock powder. Massage this mixture onto both sides of the dory fillets, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed. |
| 4 | Marinate: Place the seasoned fish in a sealed container or wrap in plastic, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to soak into the fish. |
| 5 | Prepare the coating: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch. |
| 6 | Coat the fish: Dip each marinated dory fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge the fillet in the flour-cornstarch mixture, making sure to press the coating onto the fish for a crispier result. |
| 7 | Fry the fish: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the fillets until they turn a beautiful golden brown on both sides, which should take about 3-5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning. |
| 8 | Serve: Once fried, place the crispy dory fillets on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious, crispy fish! |
