Got the fresh Salmon, dried it and cut it into strips.
Coated it in flour then in egg... then in bread crumbs mixed with black pepper and paprika.
Pan fried them and enjoyed them with home made chips plus bread & butter.
Have to say........as nice as anything I have tasted.
So........the question.
Why the flour? Cant see what it did besides stick to my fingers.

You answered your question - makes everything stick.

I think the flour helps bind the egg to the fish so the breadcrumbs stick?
Ahh.....that sounds right. Although some of the googled recipes excluded the flour.
Maybe I have to try it again but without....... as it did get messy.

Use a fork or some tongs to manipulate the ingredients?
