JOEL 1KG

Description

Delight your guests with this unmissable specialty: fried small fish. Carefully selected, these Joëls (Atherina boyeri) were frozen immediately after fishing in order to preserve all their freshness, their firm texture and their iodized flavor.

Thanks to their small size (5 to 8 cm), they can be eaten whole (“mange-tout”). It is the perfect product for recreating a real brasserie or summer tavern style fry-up at home. Practical and economical, they are packaged in generous 1 kg bags, perfect for large tables or catering professionals.

Strengths

• Optimal quality: Rapid freezing (Deep frozen) for intact marine freshness.

• Perfect size (5-8 cm): The ideal size for even cooking and an ultra-crispy finish.

• Economic Format: Large 1 kg bag, ideal for meals with family or friends.

• User-friendliness: The classic of seafood tapas and summer aperitifs.

Preparation Tips

For perfect, crispy frying:

1. Preparation: Rinse the fish lightly in cold water to separate them (complete defrosting is not required, but it is best to pat them dry carefully on paper towels to remove excess water).

2. Coating: Generously roll the small fish in wheat flour or very fine breadcrumbs. Remove the excess by passing them through a strainer.

3. Cooking: Immerse them in a very hot oil bath (180°C) for 2 to 3 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy.

4. Services: Drain them on absorbent paper, immediately add salt and serve very hot with fresh lemon wedges and tartar or aioli sauce.
