Preparation of Crispy Fried Whole Mediterranean Sea Bass

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and scale the Mediterranean sea bass. Make three diagonal cuts on each side of the fish. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season and Dredge

    In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the fish in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
