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.

  2. Place the fish pieces in a bowl, add lemon juice, soy sauce, provencal herbs, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Leave the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes.
  4. For the batter, pour the sifted wheat flour into one bowl, beat the eggs into the other.
  5. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Spread the eggs with a fork and add cheese to them.
  6. Heat a mixture of vegetables (I used refined sunflower) and butter in a frying pan.
  7. Remove the pieces of fish fillet from the marinade and roll in flour on all sides.
  8. Then transfer the fish fillets to a bowl of eggs and cheese and dip. The fish should be covered with cheese on all sides.
  9. Place the fish in a skillet with heated oil and fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
  10. Turn over and fry the fish for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
  11. Transfer the fried pieces of fish to a paper towel so that the paper absorbs the excess fat.
  12. From this amount of ingredients, a whole saucepan of delicious fish, fried in a cheese crust, turned out.
