  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to fry walleye in batter? Prepare all the necessary products. It is best to take the fish chilled. It can be both pike perch steaks and pike perch fillets. If you have frozen fish, then it is necessary to defrost it correctly: after the freezer, place it in the refrigerator for 8 hours and only then completely defrost it at a higher temperature.

    Wash the egg well - it must be done, because the eggshell contains a lot of bacteria. Beat the egg into a bowl, add a little salt and stir with a fork.

    Step 8.

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. It can be any vegetable: from sunflower to olive. But if you are going to fry something, and even to a crisp, then the oil must be refined so as not to burn in the pan. Lay out the pieces of fish, fry over low heat for about 8-10 minutes. Do not make a big fire - the batter will turn brown, and the fish will remain raw.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Then carefully flip the pieces of fish and fry on the other side for the same amount of time. You may have to cover the pan with a lid, so that the fish is fried for sure.
