Are you good in frying fish  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking 3 years ago

I have friends that encounter difficulty in frying fish, I mean the whole fish. I always been telling them that the oil must be heated up before the fish is being put in to it as then the skin of the fish will not stick to the pan / wok. How about you? Is there any good tips for frying fish so that the skin will still be intact?rasp

From my experience peanut oil seems to be best for frying fish. It seems to not burn up as fast as alot of other oils and shortenings.

machizmo, thanks for the tip... we seldom use peanut oil here though.. I normally fry fish with sesame seed oil.. Thanks for responding

After spraying the pan with pam spray or some other kind of spray I would use Olive oil or Extra version Olive oil. I hate fish and don't cook it. I just have to every once in a while for my daughter. If you use olive oil only put just enough to coat the pan . Cause what you'll do is coat the fish with the olive oil, then coat the fish with your seasonings this will give you enough seasonings to deal with it.

crysontherocks77, thanks for responding.. I do not really like to have seasoning on the fish, as I love it just with the taste. As and when I fry fish, I will like the fish to be in it's perfect way. Thanks for sharingthumbup Happy MyLotting

When I fry fish in a frying pan, I agree with using the olive oil, it does tend to fry up softer skin foods. But generally I would prepare my fish with all the coating and spices and freeze it overnight and deep fry it the next night.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking  3 years ago

I have never try using olive oil.. maybe the next time I fry fish again. I do not like to coat the fish, that's why the skin tends to fell off if the oil is not hot enough.. Happy MyLotting happy

happyI don't like to fry fish.When frying fish oil in the pan will split to me, it is very hot.I never fried fish after i was splited oil.In some supermarkets will service boiling, and frying seafood.I like to use thier services.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking  3 years ago

busky5, the reason of the oil split on you is that the fish is not dry enough, and the oil has not reach the tip of the heating point therefore when you put in the fish, it will spilt oil. How nice that the supermarkets at your area has the frying service, here we do it ourselves.happy

Hello cwong77 this is checkmail and often fry some fish for the weekend meal, and i am good at it.Mostly in our home we fry fish using a batter paste with different styles.The batter is made up of chilli powder, flour and salt, which tastes good with fish after frying.It also avoid the poping oil from the pan, and is also good looking in meal.We don't fry gfish directly but instead use batters like the garlic, ginger, and other spices to coat the fish and the try to fry it in oil over the pan and its tastes good enough to relish it all.You can deep fry teh fish if you need the fry fish with sking intect as well as use some batter to coat it.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking  3 years ago

hi checkmail, thanks for responding.. happy I don't like to fry fish with batter or coating as I like the fish taste by itself. However, I will sure coat poultry if I fry them. Happy MyLottinghappy

I am not good in frying fish. In fact, I hardly fry a fish. I am afraid of frying with the hot oil . So I am here looking for good tips how to fry a fish.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking  3 years ago

vingyan06, I can do very well with fish, that's when a friend of mine will come to my house and request for me to fry fish for her..surrender What you can do is you have to have a good heated oil, dry fish and also switch the fire lower once the fish is in the pan. Leave the fish a while, and then only turn it over. Do not attempt to fry fish too many time turning them... Happy trying, frying and MyLotting lol

I am NOT good in frying fish. I always tell my husband that I have 'magic' that enables me to skin the fish after frying. Each time I fry the fish, it will come out skinless, hence, MAGIC! lol I also need to cover up my face ninja while frying as the oil will 'jump' out all over! I've heard that we should heat the pan first before adding oil and make sure that the oil is well heated before putting in the fish. The fish should also be patted dry with a kitchen towel to avoid the oil splashing out. I've followed everything and yet, my fish is still skinless. I'm hopelessly GOOD in magic! whistle


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking  3 years ago

submerryn.. thanks for responding.. and you see my emoticons? blush

BTW, yes, now it's your oil that is the cause of it.. what you do is to make sure that the oil is heated... and how is that? you see when we heat the oil, there will be first the bubbles in the oil, this is not hot enough, you will have to wait till the oil has some smoke out, then only you put in the fish. Don't turn the fish first, let it rest there for 5 to 8 minutes, before turning it over for the other side. Once done both side, your fish skin will be intact..

Happy trying, frying and MyLotting wink

you're very right there. the oil must be heated for 7 minutes in medium heat and the pan or wok shouldn't be crowded so the temperature wouldn't drop. this is very important to get the fish thoroughly cooked which means it's skin wouldn't stick. it takes me about 7 minutes per side to get the fish fried right happy.

Fish is rich in protein. I like fish, and steamed fish best. Sometimes, we also eat fried fish, but not in big oil pot. To fry fish, the critical is to fry it without breaking the skin. For this purpose, the pot must be very hot with the oil, then turn down, or off the fire, have two sides of fish fried. Spices are important for delicious fish.

marinate the fish n refridegrate for half n hour. when the pan is hot, pour oil, then toss in the fish. make it sure tht ur pan has no residues of previous cooking. wash it very well. just after dropping the fish in oil, flip the fish so that the other side is also coated with oil. do so if u prefer shallo fry.


myLot reputation of 100/100. cwong77 (1252)   ranked 406 out of 8,636 in cooking  3 years ago

malpoa, thanks for sharing.. apparently the oil and pan have to be hot to deal with fish ya.. happy
