The fried whole fish, simple delicious and nutritious, always has been a notorious element in the Latin American, tropical kitchen. Its golden color shines among the plates of natives and visitors. It is a tradition for the tourist and an everyday delight for the locals.
Among the ideal varieties of fish to fry are jurel, mero, pargo (red snapper), boquinete and corvina (sea bass). The only requirement is that the fish is fresh and of good size.
For good health, use coconut, palm or olive oil.
Next is a very simple and delicious recipe that I am sure you and your family or guest will rave about endlessly!

Thai Cooking Class: Thot Man Pla (Curried Fish Cakes)
THANK YOU TimesOnline.co.uk for featuring The Cooking Diva!!!
If you wonder where I have been, why I have not posted so much---head over to my DiabloRojo blog in Spanish, and read THIS post.
I am teaching the Asian cooking classes for Chef Elena's program at the Academia de Artes Culinarias.
Today was Thai Cooking Day! YES!!! Loved every second of it 
This is the schedule:
- Tomorrow Tuesday: Hindu cooking
- Wednesday: Chinese cooking
- Thursday: Japanese Cooking
I always try to tease my students creativity. I told them today that we will prepare "dessert sushi" on Thursday and everyone but one rolled up their eyes (a sign of incredulity).
Then she replied: how about milk-and-rice (rice pudding) rolls? Then I smiled and said, yes...that is exactly what we will do: "Dulce de Leche Sushi for dessert." I promise I'll post the photos. Stay tuned
We hope you liked the photos.
If you are planning to visit Panama, please send me an e-mail....we will be happy to share our secret culinary info. with you!
Un abrazo!
