The taste of fried fish from a seaside booth lingers long after you return home from vacation. On the one hand, it’s the freshness of the product, but on the other, a whole host of tricks, spices, and cooking methods achieve that specific effect. See how to prepare the perfect fried fish at home.

The taste of fried fish from the seaside booth in your home. Remember this

The taste of fried fish from a seaside booth is easy to recreate. If you usually bread the fish and fry it, but the taste still falls short of what you intended, you most likely forgot one thing: the marinade. Marinades give food a more tender texture and deeper flavour.

The marinade for fried fish should not be too intense in flavour—because of the mild notes of the fish itself (at least most fish). You can use olive oil, spices, garlic, and white wine to prepare fried cod. The latter ingredient ensures the meat is tender and juicy.
