Deep Fried White Bait
炸银鱼


Ingredients:
  • Silver Fish
  • Rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce
  • Black Pepper/Pepper (optional)
  • Oil for deep-frying

How it's done:
  1. Season the silver fish with soy sauce for 1/2 hour. (Add pepper if you wish)
  2. Dust the silver fish with rice flour.
  3. Shake off excess flour then put into the boiling oil.
  4. Remove when they turn golden brown.

Note:
Don't use egg or corn flour here. The flour used here is to keep the fish dry for frying. It will taste better without the extra coat of flour.

  2. Hi Anon - I think you are referring to a different type of silver fish. The fish used in this recipe are equivalent to small anchovies.

  5. Anonymous, are you referring to dried ones? If it is, you just deep fry them without any flour cos them get crispy very fast.
