Fried fish can be safely considered a classic dish that has a lot of fans.

But achieving the perfect crispy crust, according to chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

There is one trick to this matter – adding sugar to the breading. This simple ingredient can transform the dish beyond recognition.

Most recipes call for using flour and salt for breading, as well as pepper to taste.

However, if you want to achieve a truly golden and crispy crust, you should add a little sugar to the listed ingredients.

It will give the dish an appetizing appearance and make the crust especially tasty.

The main thing is not to overdo it with the sweet additive, because too much sugar can spoil the taste of the dish.

It is optimal to add one pinch of sugar per kilogram of fish - this way you will be able to achieve the ideal balance of sweet and salty, and also make the taste of the finished dish more rich and interesting.
