The Perfect Way To Fry Fish - Crispy On The Outside, Soft On The Inside - Zeelicious Foods

Place fish pieces in a bowl.

Add all-purpose seasoning, chopped scotch bonnet peppers, garlic paste, and a sprinkle of salt to the fish.

Add some oil to help the seasoning stick to the fish and rub the marinade into the fish.

Transfer the marinated fish to another bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 5-6 hours.

In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour with more all-purpose seasoning and a sprinkle of salt.

Coat each fish piece thoroughly in the flour mixture and set aside.

Let the coated fish pieces sit for about 5-6 minutes before frying.

Pour vegetable oil into a pan for deep frying and heat it up.

Check oil temperature by inserting a toothpick; it should bubble gently when ready.

Transfer fish pieces into the pan without overcrowding.

Fry on one side for 2-3 minutes on medium heat without moving them.

Flip the fish and cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat until browned.

Remove the fish from the pan and place on an oven rack to dry for 5-6 minutes for a crunchier exterior.

Repeat the frying process until all fish pieces are cooked.
