Servings
  • Gobies 600 g
  • Lemons 1
  • Whole wheat semolina q.b.
  • Salt q.b.
  • Frying oil q.b.

Instructions

  • 1 Preparing fried gobies is simple. First, clean and wash the fish; if you prefer, remove the heads. Pat the gobies dry with paper towels.
  • 2 Place some semolina flour in a wide, shallow container and coat the fish in it. Shake them gently to remove any excess flour, then set them aside on a plate until ready to fry.
  • 3 Pour plenty of frying oil into a deep saucepan and, once it’s hot, carefully add the gobies. Fry them until they turn golden and crispy, then drain them and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
  • 4 Lightly salt the fried gobies and, if you like, add a touch of lemon juice before serving them hot.
