About Fried merluza

Fried Merluza is a flavorful seafood dish featuring merluza, a white fish prized for its delicate texture and mild taste. Common in Mediterranean and Spanish cuisines, the fish is typically coated in seasoned flour or breadcrumbs and fried in olive oil until golden and crispy. Merluza is a rich source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, supporting heart health and brain function. The use of olive oil—a monounsaturated fat—adds additional health benefits, though frying increases the calorie and fat content of the dish. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or a light, tangy salad balances the richness and enhances nutritional value. Fried Merluza offers a satisfying combination of crunch and softness, making it a popular choice in kitchens and restaurants alike, while moderation ensures a healthy indulgence.
