Gorton's Skillet Crisp Fish Fillets
What it is
These are pre-breaded fish fillets designed for quick preparation in a skillet. They are typically made from white fish, coated in a crispy breading, and flash-frozen to preserve freshness. The breading is formulated to achieve a golden-brown and crunchy texture when cooked, offering a convenient way to enjoy seafood at home. Each fillet is individually portioned for ease of use.
How people cook with it
These fillets are a versatile option for weeknight meals, easily paired with a variety of side dishes.

To prepare, heat a small amount of cooking oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the frozen fillets into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for a specified number of minutes per side, turning once, until the breading is golden brown and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to maintain a tender interior.
