Fish fry is a popular dish that typically consists of battered or breaded fish fillets, deep-fried until golden and crispy. This meal is often associated with Southern U.S. cuisine but is enjoyed globally, with variations that reflect local flavors and traditions. Common fish used include cod, catfish, tilapia, or haddock, paired with seasoning blends, flour, or cornmeal. While fish is a healthy source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like Vitamin D, the frying process can add significant calories and fat, particularly if cooked in heavy oils. Side dishes such as coleslaw, fries, or hush puppies, traditionally served with fish fry, may further increase the calorie count. Opting for baked or grilled versions, using whole-grain breading, or serving with lighter accompaniments can make fish fry a more nutritious choice while preserving its delicious flavor.
