Hake Fillet Wrapped in Ham

Ingredients

Hake - 2 lbs
Milk - 8 fl oz
Serrano Chili - 5.3 oz
Wheat Flour - 1.8 oz
Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
Lemon - 1 piece
Cotton Oil - 17 fl oz
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the hake fillet in a bowl with milk and soak for 30 minutes. During this time, turn the fillet over twice.

Step 2

Drain the milk and dry the fillet with a paper towel. Cut into 12 pieces. Season with salt and wrap each fillet in a piece of ham, securing it with a wooden skewer.

Step 3

Sift flour into one plate and beat the eggs in another. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 180–374°F (to check, you can use a cube of yesterday's bread: at this temperature, it should brown within 30 seconds). Coat the dried pieces of fillet first in flour, then dip in the eggs.

Step 4

Fry in hot oil in batches until golden brown. Remove the fish from the oil with a wide knife, let excess fat drain, and keep warm while frying the remaining pieces. Serve as soon as all the fish is ready, garnished with slices of lemon cut lengthwise.
