Crispy Red Snapper with a Twist

Prepare for a Flavorful Adventure

Get ready to indulge in a mouth-watering dish that combines the freshness of red snapper with the crunch of a perfectly fried exterior. This recipe is a game-changer, and we’re excited to guide you through it.

The Perfect Catch

To start, you’ll need a 1.5-2 pound red snapper. Cut the fish on a diagonal, creating diamond shapes about 1 inch apart. This unique cutting technique ensures even cooking and adds visual appeal to the dish.

Seasoning Magic

Next, season the fresh snapper with a blend of salt, pepper, adobo, and garlic. Let the flavors meld together for 10 minutes, allowing the fish to absorb the aromas.

The Coating Station

In a separate container, mix together all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Pour the flour mixture over the entire fish, making sure it’s evenly coated. Then, insert a thick bamboo skewer through the tail and gill, creating a “U” shape with the snapper.

Frying Frenzy

Heat vegetable oil to medium heat, and carefully bend the breaded fish into the hot oil. Deep fry the snapper for 10 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown deliciousness (GBD).

The Perfect Pairing

While the snapper is frying, prepare a quick green salad and fry sliced green plantains. Remember to add salt after frying the plantains to bring out their natural sweetness.

Savor the Flavor

Once the snapper is done, remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your freshly prepared salad and fried plantains. Get ready to indulge in a culinary masterpiece!
