Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Thoroughly wash 300 grams of capelin, dry it from excess water and put it in a regular plastic bag. We also put 100 grams of wheat flour in a bag, salt and black pepper to taste. Wrap the bag a little on top and pour to mix all the contents in it. Each fish should be thoroughly crumbled in flour.
   
2. Pour 60-70 grams of vegetable oil onto a non-stick or cast-iron frying pan, put it on the stove and wait until it is well heated.
   
3. When the oil is heated, spread the capelin in a pan not very tight to each other and fry for three minutes on each side. If you like a crispy fish, then fry 4-5 minutes on each side.
   
4. When the whole fish is ready, put it on a paper towel to remove excess fat, and transfer it to a beautiful dish.
