Beer snacks

The Japanese love capelin, and fried capelin in batter is one of the most popular snacks to accompany beer in Japanese bars. How do we treat capelin? Almost dismissively, like a third-rate fish: in many people's genetic memory, it remains the cheapest fish in the USSR. But if you dig deeper, the same "many" admit to their "shameful pleasure," that very guilty pleasure associated with fried capelin. After all, the fish is actually tasty. And in a crispy batter coating, juicy capelin is delicious both hot and cold. So, here's a simple and quick recipe from us, and all you need is a frying pan.
