Fried Cream Dory Fillet with Honey-Mayo Sauce

What sets a Cream Dory fish apart from the ranks of tilapia or bangus is that it has a mild taste and soft, silky and almost melt-in-your-mouth texture (if prepared just right). Sometimes I wonder, isn't all kinds of fish like that? But each time I eat a cream dory, I get that enticing aroma and enjoyable feeling bite after bite that I don't usually experience with other cooked fish.

I brought this dish on a Sunday brunch with the whole family. I have two plates overflowing with fried cream dory and I wasn't surprised if it was one of the first wiped out on the table. =)

Fried Cream Dory Fillet with Honey-Mayo Sauce

Ingredients:

Cream Dory Fillet (I buy the frozen ones in the grocery, usually comes in a pack with four pieces of whole fillet inside)

Salt and Pepper

Flour

Eggs (lightly beaten)

Japanese Breadcrumbs

For the sauce:

1/2 cup of mayonnaise

3T mustard

1/3 cup of honey

*adjust the taste according to your preference

How to do it:

I did not give exact measurements as you may adjust according to your needs. =)

Just get a whole fillet, clean and wash it then pat it dry.

Slice into small strips (about as long as a finger) then season with salt and pepper.

Roll the fish strips on a bed of flour until well coated.

Dip on the bowl of lightly beaten eggs then roll again, this time on a bed of Japanese breadcrumbs.

Repeat the process until every piece of your fish strips are coated.

On a frying pan or deep-fryer, heat some oil and deep-fry the fish until golden brown in color.

To prepare the sauce, just combine the mayonnaise, mustard and honey on a bowl and whisk together.

Check for your preferred consistency and taste. Adjust the proportions if necessary.

This is really very easy to prepare and one sure way to encourage the kids to eat their fish! =) Enjoy!
