fried fish again- just bumping it up a notch

So basically, this is the same recipe as the one I just posted but I just wanted to explain a little difference in presentation- also here is where you can get creative with how you want your meal served. With fresh anchovies (they taste nothing like salted anchovies you might be familiar with, these are just delicious little fish), clean them, open them up and butterfly them by running your fingernail (or a butter knife) between the spine and the meat- just leaving the tail. This way you have one large fillet using the whole fish. Again, flour like any other fried fish and drop in hot oil. Try also thinly slicing a lemon, flouring and frying as well. You can also try a fritto misto by getting a variety of fish, shrimp, even fruits and vegetables and frying them all together. Almost like a Japanese tempura.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
