fish tempura

Fried coated seafood

Fish tempura is a Japanese dish of fish pieces coated in a light, cold-water batter and deep-fried until crisp.

The batter stays thin and airy, producing a delicate crunch rather than heavy breading.

White fish like cod or sea bass are typical choices: The fish tempura was perfectly golden and not at all greasy.
