Shan Fried Fish Mix is a spice and coating blend designed for making perfectly fried fish -- golden, crispy on the outside, and moist and flaky within. This fried fish masala features a savoury combination of red chilli, turmeric, cumin, carom seeds, and salt in proportions calibrated specifically for fish, delivering flavour that enhances rather than masks the natural taste of the fish.

Each Shan packet is a pre-measured fish coating spice mix with frying instructions. Shan has been a trusted name in South Asian kitchens for decades, and this mix is a quick-preparation favourite for weeknight dinners and special occasions alike.

Use firm white fish fillets or steaks -- barramundi, flathead, snapper, or basa all work well. Make a paste with the spice mix, a little gram flour, and water, then coat the fish pieces evenly. Shallow-fry or deep-fry in hot oil until the coating is golden and crunchy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep the oil temperature high. Serve hot with lemon wedges, green chutney, and sliced onion for a simple, satisfying meal.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Unopened packets keep their full potency until the printed expiry date. Shan Fried Fish Mix is available from Hills Harvest alongside other south eastern asian spice blend options and bangladeshi spices -- halal grocery delivery across The Hills Shire, Blacktown, Parramatta, and Hawkesbury.
