Method

Preparation of Fish

1

Clean and Season the Fish

Rinse the rose snapper under cold water and pat dry. Rub the fish inside and out with salt and black pepper.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

3

Fry the Fish

Carefully place the fish in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cooking Bok Choy
