Fried Fish

Fried Fish is one of the most well-known Hungarian dishes that everyone loves. The fish, most often carp, is coated in a breadcrumb mixture enriched with seasonings and then fried in hot oil. The golden brown, crispy exterior and the tender, mouth-watering interior provide a unique taste experience. Fried fish is often accompanied by a fresh tartar sauce, a slice of lemon, and a side of potato salad or bread.

This traditional dish is a great choice for festive tables or a simple family dinner, as it always provides the desired taste experience that the combination of fresh fish meat and crispy breading guarantees.
