How to Coat Fish Below are five useful ways of coating fish. Whichever is used, the fish should first be thoroughly dried to make the coating stick well. 1. Dip the fish in milk or beaten egg and then in seasoned flour (1 level teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper to each ounce of flour). It is important to have the fish evenly coated with the egg or milk. A pastry brush will be found useful for this. 2. Coat the fish evenly with beaten egg and then dip it in fine breadcrumbs and pat well to make the crumbs stick. Use fine crumbs because coatse ones fall off during frying and make the fat dirty. White crumbs give a better finish than browned crumbs. Shake before frying, to remove any loose crumbs. 3.
