Friture de la Moselle

One of the traditional fish specialties of Luxembourgish cuisine, friture de la Moselle consists of various species of small fish that are battered and fried until golden and crispy. The fish are traditionally sourced from the Moselle river. After seasoning the fish with salt and pepper, they are first soaked in lemon juice, then coated with a batter of flour and eggs, and finally deep-fried. Friture de la Moselle are typically served only with lemon wedges on the side, and the traditional way of eating the fish is by using one’s fingers. Accompanying the small fried fish with a side of fries and a glass of fine Luxembourg Riesling is another great way to enjoy this fish delicacy.
