Trivia

• Fried fish refers to any fish that is prepared by frying.
• The fish has to be covered in batter, flour, spices or herbs before it is fried.

In many cultures, fried fish is historically derived from pescado frito – a traditional dish from the Southern coast of Spain, and the traditional “fish and chips” of England which may have inspired.
