Fried catfish breaded in flour in a frying pan

Fried catfish is a delicious fish with an appetizing crust. Everything brilliant is simple. And I myself suffered for how many years, turning excellent fish into porridge, until I found out what, in fact, the salt is Catfish is a very tasty fish. Only very few people like to cook it, except for cutlets – an inexperienced hostess has it spread out in a frying pan just in jelly. However, look at my photos – does this steak look like a shapeless mass? But everything is simple!

And I will immediately reveal the secret: so that the catfish does not turn into a "jellyfish" in a frying pan, it needs to be soaked in salt water. About 1 tablespoon of salt per 4 cups of cold water. We put steaks there (I usually take the middle part of the fish and, when it thaws a little, cut into steaks about 4 centimeters thick). The fish needs to be soaked for about two hours.
After that, we take the pieces out of the water, pepper them and carefully, without regret, roll them in flour. There is no need to salt – after all, the fish was soaked in brine.
Put in well-heated oil and fry, in no case covering with a lid. It is better to make the fire not too big so that the fish does not burn. It should not be difficult to turn it over. Since the pieces are usually large, I use two spatulas.
Serve hot – it tastes better this way. Nice appetite!
