Welcome the viewers and introduce the dish: fried fish and breadfruit cou cou.

Clean the red snapper with lime and salt, soaking for 5-10 minutes.

Slice the fish three times to help marinate it.

Mix Tina Ryan's seasoning with additional all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, and parsley flakes.

Rub the seasoning mixture inside and outside the fish thoroughly.

Prepare the flour mixture with paprika, black pepper, and cornmeal, mixing well.

Peel and cut the breadfruit in half, removing the hard center and peeling the skin.

Coat the fish with the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and add chopped onion for flavor.

Dust off excess flour from the fish and place it in the hot oil, adding onions on top.

Fry the fish for a few minutes until golden brown, then remove the onions to prevent burning.

Prepare the gravy using the same pan: add chopped onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes to the oil.

Add a little hot water to the sautéed vegetables to create gravy.

Incorporate ketchup, mustard, and curry powder into the gravy, adjusting flavors as needed.

Add a little hot sauce and soy sauce for seasoning, then let the gravy boil down.

Drain the boiled breadfruit and add butter to it, mixing until combined.
