Ingredients for fried fish.
- 1 kg of fresh fish cut for frying.
- 2 medium onions, cut in half.

- ½ cup of cooked panamito beans.
- 2 fresh eggs.
- Cumin.
- Pepper.
- Salt.
Recipe procedure.
- Proceed to wash the fish and squeeze the eves. And cut each fish, in a way that it can be ready to fry.
- On a small bowl, add the 2 eggs, and begin to beat with a spoon. And finish with a uniform, and concise beating; and finally season with cumin, pepper and salt to taste.3. Let stand for a few minutes, and dip the fish into the preparation (or bathe in all its texture). And let it macerate for a few minutes.
- Then, with the help of a frying pan, heat the oil and add a pinch of salt. Once the oil is hot, introduce each fish and start frying.
- Try to turn each fish and fry on both sides. Make sure the fish does not stick together.
- Use a spatula to remove each fish, and place it on a platter to drain the remaining oil.
- Serve with panamito beans (or your choice of stew) and fruit juice.
- For the salad; just cut each onion into a "feather cut" shape, season with Umami, salt and add lemon juice.
- Have a nice day!
Note: Depending on where you live, you can choose the fish that suits you best. Although for this recipe, hake is used to make the frying. It is for that very reason, that we use a batter made of egg, since the texture of the hake is very soft (this can stick in the pan).
