12.03.2022 Salads

One of the most delicious representatives of fish is considered to be sea bass. It does not have an unpleasant specific smell, has a small amount of bones, and the meat is very soft in structure. A dish from such a product is quite simple to prepare and pleasant to eat. To fry a sea bass in a pan, you need to know not only the stages of baking, but also the rules for preparing the carcass for the process. Tips from experienced housewives on cooking this type of fish, as well as general moments in cooking, will help you cope with all tasks quickly and easily. The sea dweller will diversify the table and please with its unique taste.

Training

Although the selected representative has similarities with the river perch, the differences between them are noticeable. The appearance and internal structure of the fish are different, but the sharpness of the fins is the main similar feature. In sea bass, the upper teeth along the spine contain poisonous substances that can cause inflammation of the skin in humans when punctured. This fact often repels housewives from cooking this fish.

Advice! By cutting off the prickly fins at the very beginning, you can easily protect yourself from any damage.

The next steps in sea bass preparation include:

  • cleaning from scales, cutting off the tail and head;
  • evisceration and removal of the inner black film;
  • thorough rinsing in water;
  • drying with highly absorbent paper;
  • cutting the carcass into 3-4 portion pieces.

If desired, you can fry the fish as a whole, if it is completely included in the pan. It happens that a fillet is required for a certain recipe, in which case the carcass should be divided into two halves by a longitudinal section of the dorsal vertebra. Then take out the ridge and large bones, and simply chop the small ones.

In order for the perch meat not to fall apart during the cooking process, it is recommended to marinate it first. You can use different ingredients to your own taste, but a classic marinade can be considered a mixture of one teaspoon of table salt, the same amount of ground black pepper and rosemary, and the juice of half a lemon. Having rubbed the fish well with these components, leave it for half an hour to soak. After that, the fibers will become even more tender, and the taste and aroma will be spicy.

in flour

Flour or other types of breading can be used to obtain a crispy crusty layer.

Grate the prepared sea bass with spices and leave for fifteen minutes so that the sirloin has time to absorb the ingredients. Roll the fish in flour, shaking off the excess with gentle movements. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the pieces in it, placing them in one layer. You need to fry correctly over low heat with the lid open, after the bottom side is browned, you need to turn the product over and continue cooking until a golden layer is obtained on the other side. The frying time will take approximately ten minutes.

With onion

Cut four medium carcasses into perch fillets or just large slices and roll in a special seasoning for fish. For spiciness, you can add red pepper or chopped chili. While the product is infused for a quarter of an hour, cut 150 grams of onion into half rings and saute it in oil. Place the pieces in another pan, having previously rolled them in flour. Turn the seafood over after the bottom layer has crusted over. Put the finished onion on top and cover with a lid. On a medium heat, continue cooking until a blush appears on the second side.

With a crust

In addition to flour, breadcrumbs can be used so that the fish on each side is covered with a pleasant crispy crust. Before frying sea bass in a pan, marinate it, and after the end of the process, sprinkle each piece or whole carcass well with crushed crackers. It is better to gently shake off excess crumbs, then put the product on hot oil and bake until cooked.

batter

The original fish can be prepared by frying it in a special dough. Such a dish is served even at the festive table, as it has a beautiful look and interesting taste.

First, prepare the batter, for which beat two chicken eggs with pepper and salt in one plate, and pour one glass of flour into the second. Prepare one large sea bass and cut it into medium sized fillets. Dip each of them into the egg mixture, and then into the flour so that it completely covers the fish. Instead of the wheat ingredient, you can roll the pieces in breadcrumbs. Fry should be on a moderate flame for five minutes from each barrel. It is recommended to serve such an appetizer with a vegetable salad, mashed potatoes or boiled rice.

Grilled

Sea bass is great for a picnic when grilled. Pre-marinate the pieces with spices and vegetable oil. For those who like to experiment, you can put a little honey in the marinade or fill the belly with fresh herbs. After the fire on the grill burns out, and the coals are still hot, place the perch on a specialized grill and fry, periodically turning the sea treat. It will take about ten minutes until the product is fully prepared.

Serve it hot, sprinkled with lemon juice.

Fish dishes are always considered low-calorie and healthy. They go well with most side dishes and are perfect for a home-cooked casual meal or a festive treat. Sea bass belongs to the category of affordable and inexpensive high quality products. And with proper preparation of the carcass and the implementation of all stages of baking, cooking will become a pleasant and easy process.

Among the variety of seafood dishes, this representative of the marine fauna remains the most favorite for admirers of fish cuisine. Crispy, appetizing crust of breading, airy batter melting in your mouth, fragrant vegetables, sea red perch fried in a pan can be cooked in different ways. But the taste of this delicacy always remains rich, and tender, juicy and almost boneless meat makes this fish a leader among other gifts of the ocean.

There is an erroneous opinion that fried food is harmful, high in calories and loses all its useful qualities during the heat treatment process, but this is not so.

For example, perch cooked in oil retains a rather impressive amount of useful inclusions, such as vitamins E and D, as well as Fe, Mg, Ca, P. But even if we discard the correctness and usefulness, the dishes from this fish are incredibly varied and tasty, and recipes for its preparation have been created for centuries in the cuisines of peoples around the world.

Fish in dough is a dish that came to us from the lands of foggy Albion - Great Britain. It is in England that the traditional fast food called "fish and chips" includes perch fillet in batter with french fries.

This style of fish preparation has been preserved in British lands for many centuries. And not in vain, because no other cooking method will allow you to fry red sea bass as tasty as it is possible with the use of batter.

  1. To cook fish in batter, you will need 1 kg of sea bass fillet, which must be cut into portions, then salt and grate with seasonings to taste. For fish, celery root and parsnip, any greens, tarragon, basil, fennel and rosemary, as well as marjoram, coriander, sage, black pepper and white mustard seeds are excellent.
  2. Also, fish slices can be marinated using soy sauce or lemon juice. For 1 kg fillet, you will need ½ cup of soy sauce or juice of ½ citrus fruit.
  3. After the fish has been processed, prepare the batter. There are an incredible number of batter recipes. It is prepared from wheat, corn or rice flour, with or without eggs, milk, kefir, mineral water, beer or water. We want to offer three international recipes for the most exquisite batters for fish:

Japanese batter

First you need to prepare a dry mixture of:

  • 150 g starch,
  • 55 g corn flour
  • ½ tsp salt, with the addition of dried onion and garlic, taken 2 g each,

  • 4 eggs,

Fry the fish for 5 - 7 minutes on each side so that the dough is browned. Perch fillet in batter is served as a main independent dish, or with a side dish of fresh or stewed vegetables, rice or asparagus.

Fish fingers

Cooking sea bass in a pan, as a rule, is accompanied by preliminary deboning of portioned pieces in breading, which can give the finished dish an appetizing crispy crust, as well as preserve the juiciness of fish meat and rich taste.

But still, there is one minus in fried fish - bones, with which no one likes to mess around. But there is still a way out - we fry fish sticks from perch fillet.

Ingredients

  • Chicken egg - 2 pcs.;
  • Soy sauce - 1 tbsp;
  • Breadcrumbs - ½ tbsp.;
  • Garlic - 3 cloves;
  • Salt - ¼ tsp;

Cooking

  2. In the meantime, prepare the breading. In one cup, beat the eggs with the addition of soy sauce with a whisk, and in the other, mix the breadcrumbs with the garlic passed through the press.
  3. Then put a frying pan on the fire and pour some oil into it. When it warms up well, take the fish slices, roll them in breadcrumbs, then dip them in the egg and again in breadcrumbs, then put the sticks in the pan and fry on both sides for about 10 minutes.
  4. When the fish sticks get golden brown, they must be put out of the pan on a paper towel so that it absorbs excess oil.

This dish can be a great appetizer or a main dish with mashed potatoes, besides, they are convenient to take with you to work, as a lunch, or on a picnic.

Fried sea bass is useful because it contains a large amount of protein and fat with a small amount - only about 140-150 kcal per 100 grams of calories.

If you have never cooked sea bass, be aware that the fins are quite sharp and the top contains poison, so a prick from this fin can cause inflammation. Consider the best step by step recipes.

How to prepare sea bass for frying

Sea bass, like any other fish, we:

  1. Wash in cold water.
  2. Let's wait until the water drains, or get wet with a napkin.
  3. Let's clean the scales.
  4. Cut off the fins and tails.
  5. Remove the insides along with the black film around.

  7. Let's marinate.

For the marinade you will need:

  • 1 teaspoon of pepper;
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary;
  • Juice of half a lemon.

In many stores you will find a ready-made spice mixture for fried fish - this is a great opportunity to simplify the task.

We mix the pieces of perch with the marinade in a deep container, cover with a lid and leave for half an hour. The marinade will not allow the pieces to burn to the pan or fall apart. The lemon juice will tenderize the meat, while the rosemary will add a delicate aroma of fresh herbs. Many chefs advise adding an additional clove of garlic, finely chopped or passed through a garlic press.

Note: sea bass can be fried not just in pieces, but filleted. There are quite a few bones, so the fillet will turn out tender and it is convenient to make it.

To do this, after cleaning, the fish must be divided into two parts along the spine, gutted and the spine removed. Grind the resulting pieces, and you can fry.

    Roll the pieces in flour.

    Place on the skillet and fry on each side.

It is better to fry perch on medium heat, without covering the pan with a lid. It takes about 5 minutes for a golden crust to form. If you want the crust to be crispy, fry over high heat, turning over four times.

Sea bass cooks well both in a little oil and deep-fried. However, if deep-frying, spread the finished pieces not on a dish, but on paper towels - this way the excess oil will be absorbed into them and will not spoil the taste of the fish.

How to Grill Sea Bass

We marinate the sea bass, in the same way as for frying in a regular frying pan, just add a little vegetable oil. You can experiment and spice up the dish by putting a teaspoon of honey in the marinade or by putting chopped dill and parsley in the belly of the fish.

How to cook:

  1. We kindle the grill and bring it to a state where the fire is no longer visible, and the coals are still quite hot.
  2. Lay the perch pieces on the grill.
  3. Since sea bass does not require a high temperature for frying, you need to turn the pieces more often.
  4. Sprinkle the finished dish with lemon juice and serve hot.

  • How to fry sea bass deliciously

    If you are a happy owner of fresh fish, then first of all cut it off and gut the insides.

    Before you fry the sea bass, you need to wash the fish well, cut into portions and prepare the breading.

    The easiest way is to roll the perch in flour and fry in a well-heated pan.

    Unlike river fish, it is much easier to clean the scales of sea bass, and the skin is crispy, so you do not need to remove it. Fried sea bass is tender and juicy thanks to its skin.

    Small fish are best fried whole, for this you only need to cut off the head, cut off the fins and clean the inside well.

    Mix flour with salt and black pepper.

    If the fish is large, then it is best to make deep cuts on each side - to the bone.

    Pour the prepared pieces of fish with lemon juice and roll in flour with salt and pepper.

    Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it up and lay out the perch pieces. It is necessary to pour a lot of oil - so that all the pieces are immersed in it to the middle of their thickness. The fish fried in this way will turn out juicy and crispy.

    How long to fry sea bass depends on the size of the fish - a medium-sized carcass is fried for about 5 minutes on each side.

    Pour crackers onto a separate plate.

    Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it over medium heat. As soon as the oil sizzles, you can begin to fry the fish.

    Dip the perch pieces in the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs and immediately put in the pan.

    Fry the fish on both sides until golden brown.

    Breaded perch is incredibly juicy and fragrant, and mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables go well with it as a side dish.

    To prepare the batter, you need to mix salt and pepper with flour, then add the egg and mayonnaise and mix well. It is best to beat the batter with a whisk. The consistency of the batter should resemble dough, like pancakes.
