Greek cuisine. Fried red snapper (Pagellus erythrinus)!!! 20/5/2023.

Greek cuisine is rich in traditional recipes that reflect the diversity and rich taste of the Mediterranean diet. One of the most favorite dishes is fried red snapper, a type of fish that frequents the clear waters of the Mediterranean. The recipe calls for scallops cleaned of scales and entrails, which are then seasoned with salt and pepper, floured and fried over high heat until golden. The dish is usually served with fresh lemon and traditional Greek salads, offering a true taste experience of the Greek sea.

Hello my friends Welcome to another video. Today we will fry lithrini, but let's see how to clean. At first we will remove the scales with a knife holding the fish from the head in our hand, and we start with our small knife to scrape it to remove the scales. Then we will open the abdomen, remove the svarachna, and rinse it with plenty of water.

Lythrini is a very tasty and tasty meze for all gourmets, it is eaten fried or grilled all over Greece.

When we finish cleaning the fish we can store them in the freezer or cook them, we will fry them for this, salt them and put them in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the salt catch.

A very tasty with high nutritional value, it is cooked fried or grilled. We bought 1.5 kilos from our neighborhood fishmonger for 5 euros.

Lythrin is a basic source of protein and is high in B vitamins and iron. It lives near the bottom, in open water on rocky or sandy bottoms. We find it at a depth of 30 to 250 meters. It is found throughout the Mediterranean Sea, on the northern and southeastern coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, but also in the western Atlantic.

It's time to flour our fish, put some flour on a plate and carefully flour them all one by one.

We put our pan on the fire and add a little oil and wait for it to burn. when the oil burns we place the fish in our pan and wait a while until they are fried on one side.

When they are fried, i.e. they turn a little brown with a fork, we will turn them over so they can be fried on the other side as well.

When they are golden brown with a fork, we will turn them over to fry on the other side as well

When they are fried, everything is ready. To taste them, if we want, we can accompany with a little lemon, and a glass of ouzo, bon appetit.
