Brilio.net - Frying fish is one of the practical and fast ways to cook. Unfortunately, there are some obstacles that also arise when frying fish. One common problem that is often faced is oil that gets dirty quickly.
Dirty oil not only reduces the quality of fried food , but can also affect the taste and appearance of the fish. Seasonings or small pieces of fish that come off during the frying process are often the main cause of dirt in the oil. This certainly makes the oil look cloudy and unusable.
But besides dirty oil, another challenge that is often faced when frying fish is the fish meat sticking to the pan. This can happen especially if the pan is not hot enough or not using the right type of pan. When the fish sticks, the texture of the fish meat will also be damaged. Crushed or flaky meat makes the final result imperfect and can reduce appetite.
To overcome this challenge, there are several tips that can be applied. One way is by seasoning the pan. So the pan will be heated first before use. This is considered to make the pan non-stick.
But besides that technique, you can use another method that is no less practical. This method was once practiced by TikTok user @alwalid.mlk. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted that he only used a simple trick when frying fish so that the oil remained clean and the fish meat did not stick.

As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @alwalid.mlk on Tuesday (11/26), the trick is to line the pan with banana leaves. So, just heat enough oil in a pan. Once it's hot enough, put the banana leaves in it. Make sure the banana leaves are wide enough to accommodate the oil and fish later.

Shortly after inserting the banana leaf, then insert the pieces of fish that have been washed and seasoned. Let stand until the bottom is crispy, then turn the fish over. Then fry as usual until perfectly cooked, then remove and drain.

When frying, it is better to use medium heat so that the banana leaves do not burn quickly. Well, these banana leaves will help coat the meat and the pan so that they do not touch, so that the fish will remain intact. In addition, the remaining crumbs that fall off will also be collected in the leaves, so that the oil becomes cleaner.
Having been viewed more than 2 million times, this video about the fish frying trick immediately caught the attention of netizens. Many other TikTok users claimed to have just learned about the trick. On the other hand, there were also those who gave advice on frying fish so that it doesn't stick to the pan.
" Oh, that's why fish easily sticks to the pan ," said TikTok user @priskakamal.
" Use shallots without peeling them and they won't stick ," said TikTok @jennnnnh0.
" Wow, I got another solution for frying fish so it doesn't stick ," wrote the TikTok account @tati_supriati62.
" You can also make it fried, just use the frying pan for frying. Don't use it for stir-frying with water. So it doesn't stick if you make frying ," commented the TikTok account @anne_jbi.
" Good idea. Not sticky ," said TikTok @wartiwulandarisalim.
