Silver carp fillet in batter is a very tasty river fish dish that can be eaten as a snack or served with any side dish. The option is also very convenient to take with you to a picnic or on the road, because the fish cooked according to this recipe is tasty not only when warm.
Silver carp is a rather fleshy fish, so fillet pieces are fluffy. For this recipe, you need to take carcasses weighing 3-4 kg. This will be a guarantee that small bones will not be caught in the finished dish, and it will be pleasant to eat.
For a silver carp in batter recipe, it is important to choose a quality product. When buying a whole carcass, we check the elasticity with the touch of a finger and evaluate the appearance. The eyes are not cloudy, clean. The skin is shiny. The gills are pink, and there is no mucus. Fins and tail are not dry, elastic. We check the freshness of the steaks for elasticity and evaluate them by color and smell. There is a specific fishy aroma and smell of a pond and algae. Frozen fish has dull shades, is soft and friable. During the frying process, a lot of liquid is released from it, and as a result, a less tasty and dryish dish is obtained. The safest way is to make a purchase from trusted sellers, refusing to visit the spontaneous market.
In order to improve the taste and slightly mask the fishy aroma, add a refreshing lemon to the recipe. Sprinkle with your favorite spices, if desired, to make the dish even more delicious.
We prepare the batter on the basis of eggs, flour and milk. This combination of products will provide a dense, but at the same time very tasty coat, which will help to preserve the maximum juiciness of each piece.

Step by step cooking silver carp fillet in batter
