Easy and yummy recipe for Fish Fry – Pomfret Fry

It’s been a while since I last enjoyed a nice, crispy Pomfret Fry. My excitement doesn’t stop there; I like to pair it with a homemade hot and tangy sauce to fully indulge in the experience. To add a touch of healthiness, I serve it alongside a fresh, chilled salad to balance out the oiliness of the fish. Midweek meals can often feel uninspired, so I decided to buy a fresh catch of Pomfret to cook with my unique twist.
