Crispy fried fish fillets are a delightful dish that captures the essence of coastal cuisines from around the world, from the bustling fish markets of London to the serene shores of New England. The secret to a perfectly crisp exterior and tender, flaky interior lies in the batter and frying technique, and today, we'll master both. Whether you're a fan of traditional fish and chips or seeking a crunchy protein for a simple weeknight dinner, this recipe promises satisfaction for all palates.
These crispy fish fillets pair beautifully with tangy tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon for that classic finish. Serve them alongside a refreshing coleslaw, or perhaps a simple salad of mixed greens with a light vinaigrette. For a comforting and hearty meal, don't forget to add a side of golden, thick-cut fries or roasted vegetables. A chilled glass of white wine or a crisp lager will complement the dish perfectly.
