Breaded Beluga in English

4 servings

40 minutes

English-style breaded beluga is a refined dish of British cuisine that combines the tenderness of fish with a crispy golden crust. The breading made from flour, butter, and breadcrumbs gives the beluga a rich flavor and appetizing texture, while black pepper and salt subtly highlight its natural sea notes. This recipe may have roots in traditional British fish dishes where breading serves to retain juiciness. Cooked on a griddle or pan, the beluga acquires an expressive aroma, and the accompaniment of mashed potatoes, lemon, and tartar sauce adds a harmonious contrast. The dish is perfect for festive occasions and dinners when one wants to enjoy a delicacy that combines classic elements with gastronomic sophistication.
