Appetizing fish in batter is a good combination of tender flesh with a narrow openwork dough. The fish itself comes out very juicy, because the batter prevents the juice from flowing into the pan, and even if this happens, it is not in full. Pollock in batter can be served with any side dish or salad.

An additional advantage of this dish is that the ingredients are ordinary and affordable, they can be found in any store, and maybe even right away in the refrigerator.

To cook pollock fillet in batter in a frying pan, prepare the necessary ingredients.

Cut the chilled (or defrosted) fish into portions. I like to work specifically with fillets because I don’t like bones in fish. Moreover, if you plan to give the fish to children or old people, it is better to prepare the fillet specifically.

Now let’s create the batter - in a comfortable bowl, combine flour, egg, salt, and ground pepper. Stir well so that there are no lumps. The batter comes out quite thick. But if it seems too much to you, then you can dilute it to a suitable mixture with water or milk.

You can dip any piece of fish in batter, or you can create it simpler. Dip the pieces into the batter, stir, and then remove by prying with a fork. Do what is most convenient and familiar for you.

In a heated frying pan, greased with vegetable oil, place the pieces of battered pollock not very close to each other. Fry on both sides for 3 minutes over low heat.

Transfer the pollock in batter to a plate and serve, of your choice, with a side dish, salad, fresh or pickled vegetables, and herbs.

Recipe for fried pollock fillet in batter in a frying pan

Ingredients

Tips for choosing ingredients

• In batter, you can fry and bake in the oven all kinds of fish that do not contain small bones.
• If you have a fish carcass, then you need to disassemble it in advance into a clean fillet (without bones and skin) and remove all the small bones from it.
• When purchasing frozen fillets, keep in mind the fact that when defrosted, the fish will lose almost half of its weight due to melted ice. So if you don’t want to overpay for water, buy the whole fish or a carcass without a head and disassemble it yourself.

Step-by-step production

1. We wash the pollock carcass and disassemble it into clean fillets (without skin and bones). You should end up with 500 grams of fillet (for this you need to take approximately 800 grams of frozen fish). Cut the fillet into medium-sized pieces and fill it with cool water for 30 minutes so that the specific fishy smell disappears.
   
2. Cut the fillet into small pieces, removing all the small bones. You can simply tear the fish apart with your hands.
   
3. We prepare the batter for pollock fish according to the most common recipe - break 2 eggs into a bowl and add a little more than half a teaspoon of salt, sugar and a quarter teaspoon of soda.
   
4. Pour in a glass of milk. Mix the mixture using a whisk.
   
5. Add a glass of sifted flour and mix everything thoroughly. The batter should be without lumps. The dough should turn out a little thicker than for pancakes. If it turns out very thick, add a little milk or boiled water to it, and if it’s liquid, then add a little flour.
   
6. Place the crushed fish into the batter and mix everything together.
   
7. Heat 100 ml of oil in a frying pan.
   
8. Spread the mixture with a spoon and fry like pancakes on both sides until golden brown over medium heat.
   
9. Transfer the finished fish fritters to a paper towel to remove excess fat.
   

Serving the dish

Battered fish can be served for lunch or dinner with herbs, salads, a side dish of vegetables and various cereals, and pasta dishes. Prepare a sauce for the fish - mayonnaise with garlic, tartar or cheese. These fish fritters are delicious both hot and cold. You can take them with you to work or on the road along with bread, vegetables or herbs.
