Best Fish to Fry

When choosing a fish to deep fry, look for an option that has a neutral flavor and isn't too oily. Typically, neutral flavored, white-fleshed, and lean fish are best for frying. Freshwater fish such as bass, trout, and catfish are excellent choices. Avoid dense and oily tuna, salmon, and sea bass.

Recommended Portions

We recommend 1 lb. of raw fish per person when serving whole fish. We recommend 6-8 ounces raw weight per person when serving fish fillets and steaks. We recommend 8 ounces raw weight per person when serving various seafood items.

Tricks of the Trade

Don't skip the flour coating since it provides a delicious crispy texture, protects the fish from soaking up too much oil, and also keeps the fillet in one piece.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then coat in a breading mixture of your choice (this can be done as the oil is heating up; set the breaded fish on a wax paper–lined plate) or dip the fish in batter just before adding to the hot oil.

Newborn fish need special food to make sure they get everything they need. Which is why Hikari First Bites are such a great product designed specially to help newborn fish, also known as fry, get the essential vitamins and minerals they require to develop properly with a diet rich in protein and amino acids.

The high temperatures during frying also damage the healthy omega-3 fatty acids in fish more than other cooking methods do (39, 44 ). In fact, one study found that frying tuna decreased the amount of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids by 70–85% ( 45 ).

Fry the fish, two or three pieces at a time, in the hot oil until the coating is golden and fish begins to flake when tested with a fork, turning once. This takes about 3 or 4 minutes per batch. Drain the deep-fried fish on paper towels, flipping the fillets to drain both sides.

What to serve at a fish fry? ›

All it takes is some good, crispy fried fish, classic sides like hushpuppies, potato salad, and baked beans, and cool summer desserts. A refreshing sipper like strawberry lemonade doesn't hurt either. So, pull out your checkered table cloths, and tartar sauce; this roundup has all that and more!

Apparently, the proteins present in milk can bind to the fatty acids that have been exposed to air and give salmon its fishy odor or taste and mitigate them to be more neutral. (Fishiness is caused by the oxidation of fatty acids.)

Stretching your food dollar

For example, a pound of broiled catfish fillets will give approxi- mately 3 servings. One pound of catfish prepared in catfish salad yields 4 servings. One pound of fish served in casseroles, stir-fry, or soup can be stretched to yield 6, 7, or even 8 servings.

How big is one serving size of fish? A fish meal serving size is 8 ounces uncooked or about 6 ounces cooked for a 160-pound adult. If you weigh more or less than 160 pounds, add or subtract one ounce to your serving size for each 20-pound difference in body weight.

I normally cook 3 to 4 averaged sized fillets per person and that is almost always more than enough when combined with all the other fixens at a fish fry but since you asked how many pounds I would have to say around a half a pound per person.
