Coley’s Tips for Shallow Frying

  1. Step 1For snackable bites, cut fish into 2-3 inch pieces. You can also shallow fry larger strips or fillets.
  2. Step 2Heat the pan on high and use 1/2 – 1 inch of olive oil.
  3. Step 3Place the breaded barramundi pieces gently into the pan, away from your body.
  4. Step 4Do not overcrowd the pan!

Bonus tip: keep your hands goop-free when breading the barramundi by using one hand to handle dry ingredients (flour, panko) and the other for the egg wash.
