Method

  1. Season the fish wheels with salt and pepper and add the lemon juice.
  2. Let them rest for at least two hours before frying (even better, from the night before).
  3. Drain the fish wheels and coat them in a thin layer of flour.

  4. Then pass them through the beaten egg. If you want a thicker coating, pass them through breadcrumbs last.

  5. Heat the oil over medium heat. High heat will only burn the coating.
  6. Fry each side for about one and a half minutes, flip them, and repeat until they achieve the golden color you prefer.
