Pike fried in a frying pan with onions

Preparing pike in batter fried in a frying pan is quite simple. The most difficult thing to prepare is to fillet the fish.

600-700 gr. fresh pike;
3 tablespoons of wheat flour;
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise;
1 egg;
4-5 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
salt, ground black pepper, fish spice mixture - to taste.

We fillet the pike and cut it into small pieces the size of a matchbox. Sprinkle the fillets with fish spices.

Break the egg into a bowl, beat with a fork or whisk with the addition of salt and spices. Then add flour and mayonnaise, stir. Pepper the batter to taste. Stir until the lumps disappear completely.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Dip pieces of pike fillet into the batter, making sure that the dough covers the pieces on all sides. Fry the fish in batter over medium heat. When the bottom side is browned, carefully turn the pieces over, reduce the heat even more and cover the pan with a lid. This is necessary so that the fish has time to cook completely.

To prepare you will need to use:

Salt to taste.
Spices to taste.
A couple of eggs.
One tablespoon of sour cream.
One tablespoon of flour.
50 milliliters of vegetable oil.

The fish used in this recipe was fresh.

First you need to clean it of scales, remove the fins and gut it. Cut off the head and cut the fish along the spine to obtain fillets.

The resulting fillet must be cut into pieces.

Transfer the resulting pieces into a container. Then season them with salt and fish seasoning. Mix everything so that each piece is coated with spices. Leave the fish pieces to marinate for a while, and in the meantime you can move on to preparing the batter.

Take a deep bowl. Drive chicken eggs into it and beat them with a fork. Then add flour, sour cream, a pinch of salt. Move everything until smooth. The batter should have the consistency of thick sour cream. If it turns out liquid, then you can add more flour. Sour cream can be replaced with mayonnaise. Since the batter is made quickly, you can safely put the frying pan on the stove. Pour vegetable oil into it and heat it.

The oil should be warm enough. Each of the fish pieces should be dipped into the prepared batter. The battered pieces should be immediately placed in a frying pan. The battered fish should be fried on each side for about 3-5 minutes over moderate heat. Since the batter sets very quickly in hot oil, a piece of fish ends up with a pleasant golden crust.

Fried pike in batter is a great recipe for an everyday meal. There is no need to decorate this dish in any way; your family will appreciate it by its taste, not by its appearance.

You will need:

Pike carcass
Salt
Eggs
Flour
Butter
Sunflower oil
Milk.

Cut the fish into portions, rub them with salt and leave for about 15 minutes. For a better effect, so that the pike fried in batter does not smell like mud, you can sprinkle the meat with lemon juice. The fish will be more flavorful.

While the fish is soaking in salt, prepare the batter. Take eggs, beat them thoroughly, add a spoonful of milk, about two tablespoons of flour in small portions. Continue beating until smooth.

There is also a simpler way - here's how to fry pike in batter. Beat the egg with salt and melted butter. After this, dip the already salted fish first in the egg and then in the flour.

Now you can put the fish in a heated frying pan, after pouring sunflower oil into it. Fry the fish on both sides until golden brown.

The finished fish can be decorated with beautifully chopped vegetables and safely served. With this preparation, fried pike in batter has every chance of being eaten in one sitting in your family company.

This method of cooking fish is the most common and, in my opinion, the simplest.

Pike, salt, pepper, flour, onions (by weight it should be half that of pike meat). vegetable oil and a small piece of butter.

Preparation:

First, let's deal with the fish: clean it from scales, gut it, cut off the tail, fins and head, which can be used to prepare fish soup.
Wash the fish carcass, dry it with a paper towel and cut it into portions of 4-5 cm. Salt and pepper the portions, leave for 10-15 minutes so that the fish is soaked.
Pour flour into a separate plate, you can add a little more salt. Mix the ingredients.
Roll each portioned piece evenly in flour and place in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry, as soon as the fish is browned, turn it over to the other side.
Peel and chop the juicy onion.
If you like caramel-colored onions, then immediately after turning the fish over, add the onions to the frying pan. We slightly move the fish to one side, freeing up space for the bow.
If you like translucent onions, then add the onion slices 5 minutes after turning the fish over. Stir the onion constantly during cooking so that it does not burn. At the end of cooking, 3-4 minutes before the end of the process, I add a small piece of butter to the pan; butter makes the fish more juicy and tasty.
Remove the frying pan with the finished fried pike from the heat, place it on plates, and can be served with a side dish or simply sprinkled with fresh herbs.
