Instructions
Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper.
Spread flour on a piece of wax paper.
Place each fillet or whole fish in the flour and coat both sides well. Dust off any excess.
Add the sesame seeds to the remaining flour and mix well.
Set out a large plate or platter.
In a large shallow container, beat the eggs with the sesame oil. Dip each fish or fillet in the egg mixture, then in the flour-sesame mix, coating it well, and place it on the platter. When all the fish are coated, place the platter in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set it in the oven.
Place 4 ovenproof plates in the oven to warm.
Pour the peanut oil into a large heavy skillet or saute pan to a depth of 1/2 inch.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is very hot but not smoking (375). Just as the surface begins to ripple, take the fish out of the refrigerator and place as many in the pan as will fit without crowding, flesh-side down.
Fry the fish 3 minutes on each side or until golden.
Transfer the cooked pieces onto the wire rack to stay warm while you finish cooking the rest. Divide the fish among the warmed plates, and splash them with hot sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Zind-Humbrecht Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardive Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 99 dollars per bottle.
