Fish_Trevally_Tempura

Any fresh fish is good for Tempura. Cut into small pieces, it would be much easier to fry. Today I added some ‘Aonori’ to the batter. Tempura dishes that are fried with the batter mixed with sea vegetables are called ‘Isobe-age’. Most commonly ‘Aonori’ (Dried Green Laver Flakes) is added to the batter, but it might be difficult to find. Finely crumbled Nori or Wakame can be used.
