Carpe frite sundgauvienne

Carpe frite sundgauvienne is a traditional dish originating from Sundgau in the Haut-Rhin region. The dish is made with a combination of carp fillets, white wine, semolina, oil, salt, and pepper. The carp fillets are placed in a flat dish and marinated in white wine.


Once marinated, the dish is drained, seasoned with salt and pepper, and dredged in semolina. The fillets are fried in hot oil until golden on the exterior. Once cooled, the fillets are fried again in oil at a higher temperature. The dish is typically served with fries, lemon wedges, mayonnaise, and a fresh green salad.


The fish should be eaten with the fingers. It's recommended to pair carpe frite sundgauvienne with a glass of Riesling or Pinot blanc.
