Ingredients

2 cups olive oil for frying
1 red onion, sliced and separated into rings
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cups plain dry bread crumbs
1 cup self-rising flour

Directions

Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. While that is warming, place the red onion onto a platter and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar.
Combine the bread crumbs and flour. Press fish into the mixture to coat on both sides. Fry in the hot oil until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.
Transfer to the dish of onions and allow to drain. Wait 5 minutes and then transfer to serving plates. Spoon some of the vinegar and onions over the top for show.

"Good recipe. It can be made healthier with a lot less oil, use olive oil, and less flour. For this kind of frying, don't use your evoo, use a lighter one. Less smoke...." See more"

"My husband and I LOVED this recipe. I followed very close to the original recipe, however I used less oil and I used seasoned bread crumbs. I also couldn't find halibut, so we used cod. DELICIOUS! T..." See morehank you for sharing. We will make again. Yummm."

"This is nothing more than fried fish with onions and balasamic vinigar sprinkled on top. Nothing too fancy, but this was surprisingly good! I seasoned the breading, but that's the only change I made..." See more. My four year old daughter gobbled it up!"
