Fish Fried in a Cheese Crust

by Editorial Staff

A simple and tasty dish – fried sea fish with a hard cheese crust. Rub the cheese on a coarse grater, mix with an egg, cover the fish pieces in flour with this mixture and fry in a pan. The cheese crust retains all the juiciness of the fish fillet during frying and gives a more interesting taste.
