Breaded Weekend Fish

Feeling particularly British this weekend, I decided to make home-made breaded fish.  This is a very simple, partially messy but hugely satisfying dish. 


To achieve crispy yet cloudy soft fish, you will need:

2 Filets of Plaice or any other white fish you wish to devour
1 Egg
30 g or 1/4 Cup of Flour
30 g of Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper
Sunflower or Olive Oil

Unpack the fish filets and dry both sides from moisture with paper towels. Prepare a plate with flour (with a sprinkling of salt and pepper to season) and a separate plate for the breadcrumbs.  I made my breadcrumbs by dicing them over and over on a cutting board, but a food processor would speed up the process ten-fold. In a bowl, beat the egg.  To bread the filets, first, coat them in flour, then egg then the bread crumbs and pop them in a hot pan with sunflower oil for about 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy or longer if you have larger filets.  I served with peas mashed with a handful of chopped mint leaves and some good ol' mash. Voilà

I must admit, we ate this dish cuddled up with blankets while watching telly
