Fry the pomfret
After purchasing the pomfret, you need to clean it thoroughly, cut off the tail, fins, gills, and gut it, then rinse it again and let it drain. Use a knife to make parallel cuts on the fish’s body so that it cooks evenly when fried.
Place a pan on the stove, add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan for frying the fish. When the oil is hot, put the pomfret in and fry it until both sides are golden and crispy.
Tip:- To prevent oil splatter while frying the fish, you can try adding a few grains of salt to the oil before it heats up.
- To ensure the fish is well-cooked, fry it over medium heat and keep an eye on flipping the fish.
