Main Ingredients
- 500g Yellow Corvina
- 4 Eggs
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Here’s our star ingredient for today’s dish: fresh yellow corvina. Please prepare a fresh piece of fish.
Step 2
Crucial step for perfect fish fritters! Gently rinse the yellow corvina under cold running water and pat it dry. This maintains the fish’s freshness while drying excess moisture for an extra crispy texture.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. For an optional touch, finely chop the red and Cheongyang chili peppers and add them to the egg mixture. This will add a spicy kick and vibrant colors, making the fritters even more appealing. Prepare your garnish vegetables by chopping them finely.
Step 4
Lightly coat the yellow corvina with all-purpose flour. It’s recommended to trim off any fins or wing-like parts of the fish with a knife, as they can be inconvenient during cooking. A thorough flour coating helps the egg batter adhere better and results in a crispier fritter.
Step 5
Dip the floured yellow corvina into the whisked egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated with the batter. It’s important to achieve a thin, even coating of egg.
Step 6
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Carefully place the egg-coated yellow corvina into the heated pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Frying in a well-heated pan prevents sticking and helps maintain the fish’s shape.
Step 7
Once one side is fully cooked and golden brown, carefully flip it over and cook the other side until equally golden. Yellow corvina has firm flesh, making it easy to flip without breaking. You might even consider trying this method with other fish like hairtail!
Step 8
Your Yellow Corvina Jeon is complete when both sides are beautifully golden brown! For an extra touch of presentation, garnish with finely chopped green onions or the prepared chili peppers. The natural savory flavor of the yellow corvina combined with the richness of the egg batter creates an irresistible dish that’s perfect with rice. Enjoy your delicious meal!
