Sea sole in batter – 11 quick recipes (+ sauces)

Solefish is a very popular fish from the flounder family. You can buy fillets of this ingredient on the shelves of many stores. But first you need to pay attention to the quality of the product.

The fact is that before sale, sole meat undergoes special processing. To be more precise, it is covered with ice glaze. Which not only preserves the appearance and quality of the product, but also adds significant weight. As a result of defrosting, very little fish remains. To prevent this from happening, be very careful.

Why did I decide to cook sole in batter? The thing is that this ingredient can only be purchased in fillet form, that is, without bones. By the way, this is a huge plus! Since no additional processing is required, just wash it, cut it into pieces and you can start frying. In a word, the product is very affordable and easy to use. Due to the fact that it undergoes preliminary cleaning before sale.

By the way, we also used pink salmon with this batter. It turns out no worse, the fish remains just as juicy and tasty. Guys, if you are a flounder lover, then I have another interesting recipe for you. I baked fish the other day, without any additives, so to speak, with lemon juice. It turned out very tasty. Interesting! Follow the link and get acquainted with the cooking method.

Good to know

The fillet needs to be defrosted (preferably in a natural way, that is, without immersion in warm water and without using a microwave). Then cut into small pieces.

• The fillet can be marinated, for example, poured with soy sauce or simply sprinkled with fish seasoning and left to stand for 20 minutes.

• The batter can be kneaded with kefir, milk, sour cream or mayonnaise. You can use beer or dry wine as a base. The batter should have the thickness of sour cream; if you make the dough too liquid, it will simply drain from the pieces of fish during cooking.

• First roll the pieces of sole in flour, this is necessary so that the batter holds well. Then the fish is dipped in the dough and placed in a frying pan or on a baking sheet.

Interesting Facts! Consumers often confuse sole with another fish - pangasius. Solefish is a marine fish from the order Flounder. And pangasius is bred artificially in freshwater reservoirs.
