Congrio (Shrimp Fish) Fried Recipe
Congrio fish is called shrimp fish for a reason: its taste really resembles the taste of shrimp. The meat is both quite dense and at the same time juicy and tender. You can cook it in any way, I chose the most traditional: fried in a pan in a light flour breading. Pre-marinated a little. It turned out so well that the 700-gram package – 6 pieces – my wife and I were able to do in one sitting. When specifying the cooking time, I do not take into account the time spent on marinating the fish: it took me two hours, but it can be less.

  6. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Pieces of fish roll in breadcrumbs, after shaking off the excess marinade (without fanaticism – it will not harm the taste), fry on all sides first on high heat, then you can reduce to medium – depending on how warm your stove is and how large the pieces of fish are.
