Video: Brown Butter Pan-Fried White Fish

In this video, you’ll see how to make delicate white fish fried in brown butter. Watch Chef John ice fish from a top-secret location on the Finger Lakes in New York. You’ll see a great technique for quickly filleting fish with an electric knife. With fish so fresh, you don’t need (or want) to do too much to it. The fillets are simply dredged in seasoned flour and quickly fried in brown butter. It’s so fast and easy! The fish is sweet and succulent, and the brown butter gives a toasty flavor and aroma. Fresh fish does not get any fresher than this! All it needs is a squirt of fresh lemon. Make this with any delicate white fish.
