Provided by Christine Benlafquih

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds 3 ounces fresh whiting (heads removed and stomach cavities cleaned)
Optional: 2 teaspoons of Moroccan fish spice blend
Dash salt
Dash pepper
1/2 cup flour
1 cup vegetable oil
Optional: lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Wash each fish, checking to be sure the stomach cavities are clean; drain thoroughly.
  • Sprinkle the fish with about 2 teaspoons of the Moroccan Fish Spice, and a little bit of salt if desired. Alternatively, season the fish to taste with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper.
  • Place the seasoned whiting in a colander set in a deep bowl and cover tightly; leave in the fridge until ready to cook. (The fish can be prepped up to this point and then refrigerated for up to a day.)
  • When ready to fry, place the flour on a plate or shallow dish. Lightly coat the fish with the flour, shaking off the excess, and set aside in a single layer on a tray.
  • Pour enough vegetable oil into a frying pan to fully coat the bottom, and heat for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.
  • Cook the fish in batches, turning only once, until light to medium golden on both sides. Do not crowd the pan. Add a little more oil if needed. For very small whiting, the frying will only be several minutes on each side. For larger whiting, you might find it takes up to 7 to 8 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Then transfer the fish to a serving platter. Serve room temperature or warm, with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
