Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Fish

    Rinse the whole fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Ensure the fish is scaled and gutted.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Rub the fish inside and out with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lime juice. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Breading and Frying

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Mix well.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C).

  3. 5

    Bread the Fish

    Dredge the marinated fish in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  4. 6

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the coated fish in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 7

    Drain and Rest

    Remove the fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 8

    Prepare Garnish

    While the fish is resting, chop fresh cilantro, slice tomatoes, and onions. Arrange them on a platter.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the whole fried fish on a large platter, garnished with cilantro, lime wedges, sliced tomatoes, and onions.
