Fish fry is a delicacy that we rarely enjoy at home. The concept of fried fish usually reminds us of the crisp and batter fried fish that we bite into at restaurants. However, rava fish fry is a dish that is just as crisp as the fried fish that we try outside home.

Rava fish fry is a homemade fish fry dish that can give competition to any restaurant or café's menu. Sooji is used in this fish fry recipe. Rava fish fry is crisp and delectable as it is rolled in sooji or semolina. You can easily shallow fry the fish as it is not rolled in batter. Rava fish fry can be made with many different types of fish. But we will try making sooji rolled fish fry with surmai which is a popular sea fish in the Konkan region.
