On our table we have sole in batter.
Batter is a liquid dough into which food is dipped before frying.
The main components of the batter are usually flour and eggs; other additives can vary. There are a huge number of options for preparing batter: batter with mineral water, batter with eggs, with beer, with whipped egg whites, with milk. Each housewife chooses the batter with which she is comfortable working.
I bring to your attention a recipe for mayonnaise batter. For my taste and the taste of my family, this is one of the most successful batter recipes. I used it to prepare sole fillet.
Fish in this batter always turns out tasty, tender, juicy, and even the next day the batter does not lose its taste and remains soft and tender.
To prepare sole in batter we will need
Ingredients:
- Fish fillet (solefish, pangasius or any other fillet) – 3 pcs. this is approximately 900 g,
- Mayonnaise – 200 ml,
- Eggs – 4 pcs.,
- Flour 4-5 tbsp. l. with a slide,
- Salt,
- Ground black pepper,
- Vegetable oil for frying fish.
Cooking process:
This kind of battered fish is prepared very quickly and eaten just as quickly. So let's get started.
If the fish is still in ice (ice glaze), then immediately put it in to defrost. When the fillet has melted, put it on the work table and immediately cut it crosswise into strips. Each piece should be approximately 2 cm thick.
Add a little salt on top and season well with freshly ground black pepper. Let the sole soak in salt and pepper, while we prepare the batter for the fish. In a deep bowl, lightly beat the eggs, add mayonnaise and begin adding flour. Mix the batter with a whisk until it reaches the consistency of thick sour cream. When dipping pieces of fish, the mayonnaise batter should stick well to the fillet and not drip.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and begin to fry the sole in the batter. You will need two forks. Use one fork to hold a piece of fish and dip it into the batter. Secondly, we help remove the deep-fried fish into a frying pan. This is how we cook all the fish. Makes 2-3 pans.
Fry the sole until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. This time is quite enough; the fish in batter is fried very quickly.
Please note that if the batter drips heavily from the fish fillet, then you need to add a little more flour to the batter. Knead it again and then cook the fish according to the above recipe.
It is convenient to cook fish in batter in advance, for example, in the evening. Therefore, place it in a prepared container on top of each other. But when it’s time to serve the dish, place it on a beautiful serving plate and garnish with fresh herbs.

How to cook sole in batter?
Such a simple dish at first glance, like fish fried or baked in batter, is actually quite capricious. No, it is not difficult to prepare if you follow some important rules. Let's look at them in detail:
- Before frying any fish in batter, you need to thoroughly heat the pan. If this is not done, the batter will spread, and the finished dish will turn out far from aesthetically pleasing.
- For the same reason, you need to make sure that the batter is not too liquid. And if you still think the batter is runny, add a little sifted flour.
- There are two ways to fry sole in batter - with the lid open and closed. In the first case, the fish will be covered with a crispy crust, and in the second, it will turn out juicy and soft.
- You should not put too many fish pieces into the frying pan at once, otherwise they may stick to each other, and the temperature threshold of the oil will drop sharply, the batter will become soggy, which will affect the appearance of the finished dish.
- The sole, cooked in batter, harmoniously combines in taste with a vegetable side dish and creamy sauce.

How to fry sole in batter
For this recipe use:
- 0.6 kg of sole (depending on the size of the layers, this can be either one large fillet or 2-3 small ones)
- 1 chicken egg
- 1 tbsp. spoon of sparkling mineral water
- 2–3 tbsp. l. flour
- salt, pepper to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
Thaw the sole fillet if it was not purchased chilled. Rinse each carcass and dry it with a paper towel. Cut into desired size portions. Beat the batter from eggs, salt, pepper and mineral water. The presence of gas in it will help make it more airy. Take enough flour so that the batter is not too thick, but does not drip off the fish. Roll each piece in batter on all sides and place in a frying pan with hot vegetable oil. Fry the fish on one side until a thick crust forms, then turn it over to the other side. The entire cooking process takes no more than 5 minutes, since the sole fillet fries very quickly.
It is necessary to place battered fish in hot oil, otherwise the batter will drain faster than it can fry, preserving the shape of the fish.
Recipe for fried sole in breadcrumbs
To fry sole in breadcrumbs, take:
- 1–2 layers of fillet
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the fillet by washing, drying and cutting into portions, then salt each of them, sprinkle with pepper and roll in breadcrumbs. In addition to pepper, you can add dried dill or other spices intended for cooking fish to the fish. Place the fillet in a frying pan with hot oil and fry on one side until an even crust is obtained, then turn over to the other side. When frying the sole, do not cover the pan with a lid, otherwise the crust made from crackers will become soggy and will not hold the shape of the fillet.
