Crispy Bream Recipe

cooking time: 5 minutes

 

Ingredients

  • 1 bream (680 grams.)

  • 8 tablespoons oil

  • salt
     

Method

 

1. Clean fish but do not fillet. Salt liberally inside and out.
2. Heat oil in pan but do not allow to smoke.
3. Spoon some of this hot fat over one side of the fish, holding the fish over the pan.
4. Fry until lower side is crisp, basting the upper side all the time.
5. Remove from heat and leave the pan to stand until it cools.
6. Carefully turn the fish over and cook until the second side is crisp.


Note:
This method of frying fish, allowing the oil to cool before turning it, makes the fish crisp. Fish fried in this way can be served plain as it is, or with sweet and sour sauce
