Fish in egg
Description
To prepare fish in egg, we will also need regular flour and corn flour. You can also use breadcrumbs if you can't find corn flour. In that case, I recommend making homemade breadcrumbs. This method works for frying any type of fish—from hake to salmon. However, river fish and lean sea fish are perfectly suited for this recipe.

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients: in a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add seasoning. Put flour in another bowl, add salt and pepper. Place a bowl with cornmeal nearby. Check the fillet for bones and remove any if present. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil.

Step 2
First, coat the fillet in flour. I recommend starting with the flat side (in catfish fillets, this side is clearly distinct).

Then thoroughly dip it into the egg on all sides.

Step 4
The final step is corn flour. Coat the fillet in it and immediately transfer carefully to a preheated skillet. There should be enough oil to cover the bottom.

Step 5
Fry until golden brown on all sides. I usually check for doneness by pressing on the fish: if it springs back but isn't too firm yet, it's ready.

Step 6
Do not overcook the fish, otherwise it will become very tough and tasteless.
