A fish fillet or whole fish, dried and seasoned, coated in a thin layer of flour and pan-fried in hot oil until the coating is golden and crisp. Sometimes a butter-lemon sauce is made in the same pan afterward and poured over it.
Pat the fish dry well with paper towels, and sprinkle the salt and black pepper over it.

Roll the fish in flour on all sides, to a thin, even coating, and shake off the excess.
💡Shake off the excess flour well: a thick layer of flour comes away from the fish during frying, while a thin coating stays crisp.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
4
Fry the fish 2–3 minutes per side, until the coating is golden and crisp.
