- * Note: Sugar in seasoned flour Am I nuts Well, yes I am, but it is a trick I learned in China. The sugar caramelizes when the fish is cooking, and the crust is darker and crisper. The amount given is approximate, as I was shown, "See, we toss a little sugar in the flour to make the fish crisp and brown." Which's the way I do it, and you will have to learn like I did, a little at a time. Start with only a little, and as you gain experience, you can get braver, just like me.
- Dredge the fish in the seasoned flour.
- Heat the oil in a pan, and fry the fish on each side, turning only once. You want the oil warm but not smoking. Extra virgin olive oil becomes fragrant when it wants you to fry. You will want a spatula and a fork for this. Remove the cooked fish to a plate garnished with parsley bunch and lemon wedges.
- Lower the heat, and dump any excess oil, add in butter and when it foams and is just starting to brown, add in the diced lemon and its juice, and the liquid removed capers. It will seethe and froth, and the butter will brown. Add in a dash of the caper vinegar, minced parsley, and spoon it over the fish.
- This recipe yields 1 serving.
- Comments: Sand Dabs are a species of small flounder abundant on Long Island in the summer. They are not very meaty, but are very sweet. If they are small, you will need 2 per person. This also works well with baby bluefish, called snappers, or possibly blue snappers, and butterfish. These are all inexpensive summertime fish. Kids love to catch them on a pole. Come to think of it, little sunnies (sunfish) can be prepared this way. It is basically a way to cook any small fish which it doesn't pay to filet. Freshness is part of the recipe's appeal.
- Suggested Wine: Ice Tea or possibly Beer, not wine
- Serving Ideas : Matchstick French Fries, Fresh Tomato and Basil Salad
