Fried fish

Often, the fish is covered in batter, egg and breadcrumbs, flour, or herbs and spices before being fried and served, often with a slice of lemon.

Long John Silver's, Skippers, Captain D's, and Arthur Treacher's are well-known North American chain restaurants that serve fried fish as their main food offering.

Catfish are also a prevalent farm-raised type of fish that is often served fried throughout the world.

Community fish fries are popular in the southern region of the United States.
