    What Do You Need To Pan Fry Crispy Fish?

    Reading: how to pan fry haddock in butter

    Before we dive into the recipe below, let’s go over what you will need to successfully make this at home. Fortunately you won’t need a lot!

    You’ll obviously need some filleted haddock, and it is best to use fresh haddock fillets whenever possible. Frozen fillets can be used of course, just make sure to fully thaw them before cooking.

    If you try and pan fry frozen fish fillets, the fish will ‘thaw’ as you pan fry it, releasing a lot of water, and preventing the fish from crisping up. You essentially end up with steamed fish.

    You’ll also need a good quality frying pan, and some oil or clarified butter to fry the haddock in. I suggest using a thick bottomed frying pan (copper or cast iron is ideal), but any pan can be used as long as it is flat, and heats evenly.

    I try to avoid non stick coated pans because the coating eventually wears down releasing toxins into your food. Scratched non-stick surfaces will also not be ‘non-stick’, causing pan fried fish to stick to the pan. -Chef Markus

    Pan Fried Haddock Recipe

    There are two methods that I generally suggest most folks use to pan fry haddock, or any other type of fish.

    • The first method utilizes flour to lightly crust the fish and create a crispy crust.
    • The second method calls for you to pan fry the fish by itself with only a few seasonings.

    Both methods work great, but some folks may not want to use flour, (think gluten free), or may not want the fish crusted which is where the flour-less method comes in handy. You’ll find instructions for both methods below.

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs Fresh haddock
    • 2 tbsp oil or clarified butter
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 pepper
    • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
    • 2 tsp Onion Powder
    • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
    • Optional : seasonings such as Blackening spice

    Method 1 – Lightly Crusted Pan Fried Haddock

    1. Remove the fillets of haddock from the fridge, and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together one cup of all purpose flour, and seasonings. My go to spice mixture is 2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper.
    2. Place the haddock fillets directly in the flour mixture and coat liberally.

    Heat oil or clarified butter in a pan on the stove over medium high heat. Allow the oil to heat up and become ‘slick’ looking. Add the seasoned fish fillet to the hot oil, making sure to first shake off any excess flour first. The fish should start to sizzle as soon as it touches the pan. Do not attempt to shake or move the fish once it is in the hot familycuisine.net the fish fry in the pan without moving it until you start to see the edges brown. If you let the oil heat up properly in step 3 before adding the fish, the fillet will ‘release’ from the pan once it has sufficiently been seared. Use a metal spatula to gently lift an edge of the fried haddock to test if it lets go of the pan.

    When the fish can be easily lifted, flip the fillet by turning it over onto a ‘new section’ of the hot frying pan, making sure there is hot oil underneath it. Repeat step 5.Once the haddock has been fried on both sides and is golden brown, remove the fish from the pan and serve it immediately.

    This whole process of pan frying the haddock should be done in a hot pan over medium high heat. this will prevent any moisture from leaking out and causing the fish to stick.

    You’ll know the haddock is cooked when you can easily break it apart with a fork. It should flake apart in small sections and be completely opaque

    Method 2 – Flour-less Pan Fried Haddock

    1. Remove the fillets of haddock from the fridge, and gently pat dry with a clean linen cloth or paper towel.
    2. Place the dried pieces of haddock on a plate and season liberally with salt and pepper. Keep in mind you will lose some seasoning in the pan.
    3. Heat oil or clarified butter in a pan on the stove over medium high heat. Allow the oil to heat up and become ‘slick’ looking. Add the dried seasoned fish fillet to the hot oil. The fish should start to sizzle as soon as it touches the pan. Do not attempt to shake or move the fish once it is in the hot pan.
    4. Let the fish fry in the pan without moving it until you start to see the edges brown. If you let the oil heat up properly in step 3 before adding the fish, the fillet will ‘release’ from the pan once it has sufficiently been seared. Use a metal spatula to gently lift an edge of the fried haddock to test if it lets go of the pan.
    5. When the fish can be easily lifted, flip the fillet by turning it over onto a ‘new section’ of the hot frying pan, making sure there is hot oil underneath it. Repeat step 4.
    6. Once the haddock has been fried on both sides and is golden brown, remove the fish from the pan and serve it immediately.

    Can I Apply This Method To Other Types Of Fish?

    Of course! The two methods I go over in this post can be used to pan fry any type of whitefish, or any fish fillet for that matter. Halibut, salmon, tilapia, trout, and hake, are just a few of the popular types of fish that can be easily pan fried.
