Master Receita Solta

Resumo para quem tem pressa
"A classic snack from coastal kiosks and bars, these fish strips bring tender strips of tilapia or hake breaded in a crispy mixture of wheat flour and fine cornmeal. It is worth making at home for the dry and golden crust that preserves the juiciness of the white meat without getting soggy."
O Que Você Precisa Saber
- A combinação de farinha de trigo e fubá cria uma crosta mais crocante e resistente do que o empanamento exclusivo com trigo - O peixe deve estar bem seco com papel toalha antes do tempero para garantir a aderência firme do ovo e das farinhas - A fritura a 180°C em óleo abundante sela a casca rapidamente sem deixar o peixe ressecar por dentro
Ingredients
Main Course
- 500g of fish fillet (tilapia or hake)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 beaten egg

- Oil for frying
Instructions
Main Course
In a bowl, season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper.
On a plate, mix the all-purpose flour and cornmeal.

Chef Tips
Variations
- Adicione raspas de limão taiti e uma pitada de alho em pó à mistura de farinhas para perfumar o empanamento - Acrescente uma pitada de páprica picante ou pimenta-do-reino branca moída para trazer um toque levemente picante - Prepare na air fryer a 200°C borrifando azeite por cerca de 12 a 15 minutos virando na metade do tempo
Substitutions
- A tilápia ou merluza pode ser substituída por cação, pescada-branca ou filé de linguado cortados em tiras - O fubá mimoso pode ser substituído por farinha de milho flocada triturada ou farinha panko para crocância extra - A farinha de trigo pode ser substituída por amido de milho para uma casquinha ainda mais leve e sequinha
How to Store
Keep the already fried strips in a container with absorbent paper in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat while maintaining the crunch of the cornmeal crust, bake at 200°C or in the air fryer for 5 minutes; avoid the microwave.
Can You Freeze It?
The strips can be frozen raw already breaded open on a baking sheet and then transferred to plastic bags for up to 60 days. Fry directly from the freezer in hot oil at 180°C without the need to thaw.
What to Serve With
Pairs perfectly with fresh lemon wedges, homemade pickle-based tartar sauce, garlic mayonnaise, or hot sauce. To drink, ice-cold beer, coconut water, or natural passion fruit juice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which fish is most recommended so it doesn't fall apart during frying?
Tilapia and dogfish are ideal because they have firm meat that does not fall apart when handled during breading and hot frying.
Como evitar que a casquinha de fubá se solte do peixe no óleo?
Seque bem os filés antes de passar no ovo batido e pressione a mistura de farinhas com as mãos para aderir com firmeza.
Can I bake the fish sticks in the oven instead of frying?
Yes, place on a greased baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil, and bake at 200°C for about 15 to 18 minutes until golden.
What is the ideal oil temperature for frying the strips?
The oil should be at 180°C; if you put a matchstick or a small piece of breaded food, it should bubble vigorously and rise immediately.
