Pescado Frito (Crispy Fried Whole Fish)
Ingredients:
- 1 whole fish (about 1 1/2 pounds) – gutted, gills removed, thoroughly rinsed
- 2 limes cut into halves
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of mashed fresh garlic cloves, or to taste
- 3/4 cups all purpose wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (makes it stick better)
- kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Preparation:
- Cut a shallow, crisis-cross pattern on both sides of the fish. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, trim the fins, if they are very long.
- Rub fish inside and out with salt, pepper and garlic.
- Combine flour, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Dredge the fish in the flour mix and let sit a minute or so, shaking off the excess. Place it in hot (360 degrees) oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes each side OR until light brown and skin is crispy on each side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serving suggestion: serve with lime wedges. It is delicious with cole slaw, green salad, potato salad, fried green plantains, white rice and stewed red kidney beans, or beans and rice. Your choice!
Serves one really hungry person or two quasi-hungry souls. ENJOY!
