Method
Preparing the Fish
Clean the Snapper
Rinse the whole red snapper under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure to remove any scales and internal organs.
Season the Snapper
Rub the fish inside and out with salt and black pepper evenly. Allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Coat the Snapper
Dredge the marinated snapper in all-purpose flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Frying the Fish
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Snapper
Carefully lower the coated snapper into the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Making the Sauce and Veggies
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the red chili paste, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice until well combined.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Place the crispy fried snapper on a serving plate. Top with the sautéed vegetables, and drizzle the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
