Adding some extra virgin olive oil to the mix will ensure that the fried fish has a lighter taste. The oil should reach a temperature of around 160\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>While the oil is warming up, dip each of the tuna chunks into the eggs mixture and then in the pistachio-corn breading. Don&#8217;t leave the breaded chunks in the dish for too long, just fry them immediately. Otherwise, the humidity\u00a0of the fish will compromise the crunchiness of the pistachio crust. For this reason, it&#8217;s wiser to put the oil on the heat few minutes in advance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5079\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FriedTuna4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5079 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FriedTuna4.jpg\" width=\"296\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delicious chunks ready to be fried<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Put the breaded chunks of tuna in the warm oil until they are toasted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5077\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5077\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FriedTuna5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5077 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FriedTuna5.png\" width=\"296\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fry the chunks in hot oil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Turn the chunks and put them in a plate ones they have reached a perfect colour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5078\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5078\" style=\"width: 295px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FriedTuna6.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5078 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FriedTuna6.png\" width=\"295\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5078\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delicious brown chunks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, put 2 spoons of <a href=\"https:\/\/tastewithgusto.ie\/shop\/sundried-tomato-pate-small\/\">Sundried Tomatoes Pat\u00e8<\/a> on a dish and the chunks on top.
