BASIC COATING METHODS
A flour and milk mix used for coating fish  It is important to coat fish correctly prior to cooking to maintain the life of the oil or fat. After deep frying always strain the oil while it is warm and clean the fryer unit when the oil is changed.
If the frying temperature is too low the food will boil and the coating will fall off the fish, resulting in a wet product of poor quality and ruined oil.
