- 500 grams of little fish
- ½ cup of wheat flour
- 1 cup of frying oil
- 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wash the little fish well, drain them, and dry them on paper towels.
Season them with salt and pepper and let them rest for a few minutes.
In a plastic bag, or in a container, add the wheat flour. Then add the small fish and shake it so that the flour adheres well to all of them.
Put the oil in the pan over high heat. When it's hot, add the small fish to fry, making sure to remove any excess flour beforehand. Do it in batches so they fry properly.
Let them drain on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
Serve them hot, crispy, and with a cut lemon, ready to season them. You can also pair them with some sauce; the most common ones are mayonnaise, aioli, or a sweet and sour sauce. They are ideal as an appetizer, although they can also be the main dish in a quick meal.
Enjoy your meal!!
