Jamaican Coconut Snapper 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:

• 1. Place 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of water to pot (a medium rice pot is what I use), bring to a boil. Combine all ingredients and add to boiling water. Boil for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until very sticky (almost like syrup).
• 2. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or just use cooking spray. Take a serving spoon or ice cream scooper to yield one drop on a baking cookie sheet. Place 1 inch apart. Wait until it's cool and hard to eat. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Season the snapper with the salt and pepper.
• In a bowl, mix eggs, 1 1/4 cups of flour, baking powder and beer.
• On one plate put the remainder of the flour and on another plate place the coconut.
• Lightly coat snapper in flour, then dip the snapper into the beer batter, lastly heavily coat the fish in the coconut and set aside.
• Once every piece of snapper is coated in coconut, heat a frying pan with the oil and fry the fish until the coconut becomes golden brown.
• Drain the snapper on paper towels and enjoy.
