Do not let appearance deceive you,
For although these may look like potato wedges, they are actually Doryfish fries.
Frozen Dory fish fillets are sliced into thin wedges and deep fried in hot oil.
They are just like the average fish fingers. Except they are cut thinner and longer. You get the maximum batter over fish ratio this way.
I served this with a bit of mayonnaise. Because fried food and mayonnaise are a lifelong couple. I would have gone for tartar sauce ( which is also a mayonnaise based sauce). Too bad i didnt have on hands.
Dory Fish Fries
Taken from Allrecipes
Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) fillet dory catfish
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 cup corn flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 quart oil for frying
Directions
- Lay dory fillet horizontally on cutting board. Cut thin 1/4 inch wide strips from the filet at a 45 degree angle. This is easy if your knife is sharp, and the filet is partly frozen.
- Dust fish strips moderately with cayenne pepper, and gently tumble together to evenly coat all strips. They should look pink all over when you are through. On the Bayou, this is called a dry marinade. Place dory fish strips on a plate or pan, and set aside for a few minutes to thaw.
- Heat oil in deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Place enough corn flour to bread your dory fish on a bowl or plate, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Place thawed dory fish into seasoned corn flour, and tumble gently until all strips are evenly coated. Deep fry in hot oil for about 3 minutes, or until done. Fish should be golden brown, slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside when done.
