Fried fish
Fried fish is a dish that has been around for centuries. The first fried fish recipe was said to be from Ancient Rome. This dish was made with a type of fish called the lupus fish. The lupus fish was fried in olive oil and then served with a type of sauce called garum. Garum was a sauce made from the intestines of fish.
The first fried fish recipe that was written down was from the 9th century. This recipe was for a dish called stromboli. Stromboli was a dish that was made with a type of flatbread that was fried in oil. The flatbread was then topped with a type of fish called the sturgeon. The sturgeon was then covered with a sauce made from wine, vinegar, and spices.
Fried fish became a popular dish in the United States during the 18th century. This was due to the large number of immigrants who came to the United States from Europe. These immigrants brought with them their own recipes for fried fish.
Advice
Fried fish can be a delicious and easy way to prepare a meal. When making fried fish, it is important to use a good quality oil. High heat olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil are all good choices. Make sure to season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like before cooking. For the perfect fried fish, make sure the oil is at the proper temperature for frying (around 375 degrees Fahrenheit). It is also important to not overcrowd the pan, give the fish some space. Finally, use a slotted spoon or spatula to carefully turn the fish over, and fry until both sides are golden brown. Enjoy!
