It features fish fillets that are dipped in egg and flour, then pan-fried to golden perfection. This dish embodies the Italian emphasis on fresh ingredients and simple techniques, making it a favorite for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Today, variations can be found across the U.S., often featuring different types of fish or additional herbs.
