Heat the frying oil in a pot, maintaining a temperature between 175°C and 180°C (350°F to 355°F). Avoid very high temperatures to ensure the fish cooks through.

180°C

Using tongs, dip each seasoned piece of fish into the reserved batter, coating it completely.

fritar

Fry the fish pieces at the correct temperature for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, turning until they are golden brown and crispy.

servir

Serve the fried fish, ideally accompanied by remoulade sauce.

Dica: You can request the recipe for remoulade sauce separately.
