Fillet of fish in batter

Fish can not be fried in a frying pan, but deep-fried. For cooking fish in batter, it is better to choose fillets of low-fat white fish, for example, pollock (like mine), hake, cod, pike perch are also suitable. Red fish can also be cooked in this way, but still it tastes better when baked in the oven.

Klar (from the French clair - clear about sunny weather), it. klar (clear) is a liquid dough in which products are dipped before they are fried. For its preparation, flour is mixed with egg yolks of chicken or other birds in a classic recipe. Sometimes it is diluted to a creamy consistency with milk or other liquid and prepared from an egg with protein.

The main components of the batter are flour and eggs. Often, to give a certain taste, the batter is prepared using yeast. The batter is brought to the desired consistency by adding milk to it, less often water. Often, especially if meat or fish dishes are prepared, beer is used instead of milk. In the resulting semi-liquid mixture, pieces of food are dipped and deep-fried, as a result of which the products are covered with a beautiful appetizing crust.

The main indicator of the batter is its viscosity. Depending on the prepared products and the desired thickness of the crust, the batter can be thick or liquid. The viscosity is determined by the rate of its draining from the spoon, which was dipped into the prepared batter.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
