Today I’m going to share with you a little trick for frying fish in a non-stick pan and without the skin peeling off. The fish fried using this method is very complete and tastes very delicious.
Next, I will share with you this little method of frying fish without breaking the skin, taking crucian carp as an example.
Let’s take a look. First, we need to prepare a crucian carp. Clean the crucian carp thoroughly. After cleaning, take it out and drain the water on the surface, then put it on the chopping board. Next, we start the operation.
Step 1: Use kitchen paper towels to fully dry the fish.
You can first place the fish on the chopping board, then spread the kitchen towel on the fish and press it a few times. The water absorption capacity of the kitchen towel is relatively strong, so that all the water on the fish can be absorbed. This step is very important.
, directly related to whether the fish sticks to the pan after being put into the pan.
After all the water on the fish is wiped dry, we use a knife to mark both sides of the fish, and then set it aside for later use. The purpose of marking the fish is to make the fish more flavorful and taste more delicious.
Step 2, we pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot, preferably hot pot and cold oil.
Whether you use a non-stick pan or an ordinary large iron pan, this method can make the fish fry without breaking the skin and without sticking to the pan.
Next, we shake the oil around, and then heat the oil until it is 70% hot.
Many friends don't know what 70% hot oil looks like, so we only need to burn the oil until it smokes.
Step 3: When the oil in the pot is 70% hot, we turn off the heat, then set it aside to cool down to 30% hot.
This method has a special term in the kitchen called pan frying. This method has a very big advantage, that is, no matter what you fry, it will not stick to the pan.
When the oil in the pot has cooled down to about 30% hot, we turn on a low heat and add the fish.
Step 4: After putting the fish into the pot, we fry the bottom side first, and then turn it over until the bottom side is browned.
At this time we can find that the fish skin is not broken at all and it does not stick to the pan.
Next, let's turn over the other side and take a look. There is no sticking to the pan on both sides, and there is no broken skin.

And the fish fried in this way can be made into various other delicacies.
