fried fish

Crispy ocean fare

Fish that has been cooked in hot oil or fat, typically coated in batter or breading.

The dish appears across cuisines—British fish and chips, Southern American catfish, Japanese tempura.

We picked up some fried fish from the shop on the corner.

The coating provides crunch while keeping the flesh moist inside.
