10. FRIED FISH.
BALUCK TAVA.
Ingredients:
Fish ..................................................... 2 pounds.
Flour .................................................... 1 cupful.
Eggs ............................................................ 2.
Butter (or Olive Oil) .................. 2 tablespoonfuls (or more).
Salt and pepper, to taste.
Method:
Cleanse the fish properly, wash and dry well, and cut into pieces convenient for
serving. Season with salt, to taste. This done, the pieces may either be dipped
into flour (finely crushed biscuit will also serve the purpose) or in a medium
thick batter made of flour and plain water blended with the eggs. Then fry in
plenty of hot butter--olive oil preferred--until both sides are well browned.
When serving, garnish with parsley and sliced lemons.
Note that fish frying should be started on a slow, but finished on a strong,
fire. This method will help to fry the fish thoroughly, and at the same time
make it very crisp.
