Fried Fish (Dorado and Horse Mackerel)

 Ingredients: 2 fresh fish dorada, 2 fresh fish horse mackerel, 2 teaspoons marjoram, 2 teaspoons oregano, fish seasoning, vegetable oil, 100 ml oil *the spices are added to everyone's taste

To prepare a delicious fried fish recipe, start by choosing fresh fish such as trout, carp, or sea bream, depending on your preferences. Make sure the fish are well cleaned, without scales or internal organs, and for an optimal result, rinse them under a stream of cold water, then carefully pat them dry using an absorbent paper towel. This step is essential to remove excess water, allowing the spices to adhere better to the flesh.

In a small bowl, prepare a spice mix consisting of half a teaspoon of marjoram and half a teaspoon of oregano. These herbs will give the fish a special flavor. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with a pinch of seasoning and a special fish spice, if you prefer an extra touch of flavor. Fill each fish with this mixture, making sure it reaches inside, then rub the spices well on the outer surface. Let the fish absorb the flavors for 15 minutes, so the taste intensifies.

After marinating, prepare a deep plate with flour. Take each fish and carefully coat it with flour, ensuring it is evenly covered. It is important to shake off the excess flour to avoid forming a thick crust during frying. Make sure the fish are well coated, but without leaving a thick layer of flour.

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. The amount of oil should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan without drowning the fish. When the oil is hot, carefully add the fish, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fish until they become golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. It is essential not to turn them too early, to allow for a perfectly browned crust.

Once the fish are evenly fried, remove them from the pan and place them on a platter lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve them warm, alongside a side of green salad or fried potatoes, and for an extra touch of flavor, don’t forget to add a slice of lemon to complete this delicious dish. This simple yet extremely tasty recipe will surely please everyone who tastes it. Bon appétit!
