Caribbean Style Fried Fish Recipes

Steps:

• Pat the fish dry and cut 3 small slits on each side of the fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 quart oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Carefully place the fish in the pan and fry until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Remove fish and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir onion, garlic and carrot into the pan; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Add thyme, allspice, habanero pepper, vinegar, water, salt, and sugar and continue cooking until onions have softened and liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Serve fish topped with onion mixture spooned over the top.

Steps:

• Wash the fish and pat it dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Squeeze a few drops of lemon or lime juice on to the flesh.
• Place the garlic, onion, spring onion, chilli, coriander and seasoning into a small blender and purée to a paste.
• Spread the paste over the fish and leave it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat some oil in a frying pan.
• Put some plain flour in a bowl and dip the fish in it.
• Place the fish in the hot oil, without overcrowding the pan. Fry the fish on each side until golden brown.
• Remove the fish from the pan and place on absorbent kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
• Serve with a light salad on the side.
