Breaded Grilled Fish – Gilthead Bream, Red Mullets and Large Prawns

I don’t cook fish often, but when I can I go to eat it right by the sea because Bologna is close to the Romagna coast and I enjoy going. I prepared this breaded grill with very plump red mullets, very fresh gilthead bream and large prawns.
To bread the small pieces without making a mess: put the coating in a food bag, add the fish, shake carefully and in 30 seconds you’re done.
The coating can be varied depending on personal tastes and what you have at home and I give you some ideas such as finely chopped sandwich bread, dried flatbreads (freselle), taralli with oil and chili, crackers. I recommend adding some lemon zest and aromatic herbs to taste. Salmon, swordfish, sardines, sea bass, squid and cuttlefish all work very well and success is guaranteed.
