Lemon Sole is a flat fish that live on stony bottoms and are available to shallow seas around Northern Europe.

Lemon sole is an incorrect name for this fish as it is neither a real sole fish nor has the taste of lemon but it’s the fish that has delicate, lovable white flesh. You can cook it simply; either grilled or fried or makes goujons and serves with favorite light sauce.

Strips of the lemon sole are crusted in seasoned flour and then in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until wonderfully crispy. These Lemon Sole fillets are served with tartar sauce.

Beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork. Keep the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish. Put the flour in a large polythene bag and add salt and a large quantity of black pepper.

Dip the fish strips in the egg and quote well from all the sides. Keep them in the plate and then take few at a time and shake them in the bag of flour. Dip the fish strips in egg again then in breadcrumbs and quote well on all the sides. Place them on a tray in single layer separately; they should touch with each other. Let the quoting set for at least 10 minutes.
