Notes
I prefer fresh lemon juice to marinate the fish pieces. This gives a fresh flavor and taste. However, white vinegar is a good replacement if you do not have fresh lemons at home.
You can use store-bought bread crumbs like me if you have little time in hand. Otherwise, use homemade bread crumbs provided you know how to make them.
While coating the fish fillet, ensure double coating them. This will add to the crunchy experience. Ensure a uniform coating from all sides. This will render the perfect crunchiness.
Use a scraper to shape the coated fillets for a neat and uniform look. However, it can also be done by hand.
Always fry them on medium heat. This will allow perfect cooking to a golden-brown crust without burning.
