8 & 5 minutes per side was a little long for my fish which was thinner. The sides came out a little black/burnt. I will reduce it to 6 and 4 minutes per side. Other than that, it was perfect. First time getting it so crispy.. Thanks for sharing the technique.
I'm sure this tasted so good. Nice natural sweetness of the fresh fish meat. After one of your videos, i bought a wire net like yours from Ikea but haven't used it yet. Now got reason to.

Hi Rivet Gardener, You're welcome. Tilapia is a freshwater fish, if you can't get the whole fish just a fillet can be good as well but cooking time may be slightly different. The Chesapeake Bay sounds like a beautiful memory😁😁. Thank you for the comment.

Hi Sufi Sayyad. for deep fry fish we usually use a medium high heat to cook it throughout and also to make sure that the oil must be really hot before putting the fish in. If oil is not hot, the fish will absorb the oil and it will result in oil fish 😀😀

@@HomeCookingwithSomjit Oops...maybe my English was wrong. What I meant was if i follow your first 8 mins of frying that fish, but the difference being my oil level was much more than yours, so much oil that my fish is fully covered in the oil, does that mean I don't have to do flipping at all(hence saving 5 mins of cooking time) ?
@HomeCookingwithSomjit

@Ann-ig6hj, I understand 😀 For me, even when the fish is fully submerged in the oil, I would still flip it once to ensure that the top half is as evenly cooked as the bottom half. This is because the bottom half of the fish cooks at a faster rate than the top half (since the bottom half is closer to the heat source), even when the cooking oil fully covers it. Since it is fully submerged, once flipped, I would continue cooking the fish about half the time it takes to cook the bottom part. Hope it helps 😀

Why sometimes my fish is sticky and I cannot flip it to the side😢
@HomeCookingwithSomjit
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Yew Chan, thank you for the question 😀 From my personal experience, I find that the fish get stuck to the pan because the oil is not hot enough when the fish enters the pan, or because the fish was stirred before it can fully cook on one side. I find that the fish will separate from the bottom of the pan once cooked as long as it was not stirred before and the oil is super hot. If it's still stuck although the fish is already crispy, I would put the spatula to slowly help the fish separate itself from the pan. After that, the fish usually would separate on its own. I hope it helps 😀
Just buy the no stick pan its will help alot

Hi Mayala Mungeya Esperance, thank you for the suggestion 😄 Using the non-stick pan to deep fry the fish will prevent the fish from sticking to the pan. However, through my experience, I found that deep frying with non-stick pan spoils the non-stick coating easily due to the high heat. So I use my non-stick pans for stir fry dishes instead, like fried rice, noodles and vegetables 😄

Hi Robert Thai, thank you for the reply 😄 Usually, I preheat my oil on medium-high with a (thick walled) stainless steel pan for 10 minutes (on induction stove) before putting in the fish. If a gas stove is used, the oil will get hotter quicker as it gives out more heat than induction stove. Coating the fish with flour also helps to absorb the excess moisture and gives a crispy texture too. I hope it helps 😄
Hello, Thanks and got questions. how many litre oil we need? What type oil? And, it gonna be waste after we cooked once by it?
@HomeCookingwithSomjit
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Teddy Afro, thank you for the question 😄 When deep frying fish, we want to submerge the fish completely, as much as possible. If it's not possible, it's okay for a little of the fish surface to not be submerged. The amount of oil needed depends on the size of the pan and the fish. For me in this video, I used 1.5 litres of oil. As for the oil wastage, yes unfortunately. I use the mid-range/quality oil for deep frying, while reserving my top-range/ high quality oil for other types of dishes. Although one should never reuse the oil for frying more than once, I have reused the oil for a maximum of 2 times, if the oil's colour did not drastically change and there isn't a lot of residue in the oil. Hope it helps 😄
