Fish fillets are easier to prepare and often less expensive.

Start by seasoning the fish with lime juice, garlic sauce, complete seasoning, chicken bouillon, and onion powder, making sure to rub it into all the cuts made in the fish.

Let the fish marinate for about 30 minutes to 2 hours for better flavor.

Prepare the breading by mixing breadcrumbs with seasoning and coat the fish evenly with this mixture.

Clean the workspace to avoid contamination from the fish preparation.

Shred the cabbage using a grater for even pieces, and chop the carrot to add color and flavor to the slaw.

Blanch the shredded carrot in hot water for a short time, then drain it and mix it with the cabbage.

Season the cabbage and carrot mixture with salt and add mayonnaise to create the slaw, mixing well until combined.

Peel the green plantains, cutting off the ends and slicing them into desired thickness.

Optionally, sprinkle salt on the plantain slices for added flavor before frying them.

Heat oil in a skillet and fry the fish for about 7 to 10 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Fry the plantain slices in the same oil until they are golden and crispy, which should take just a few minutes.

Drain the fried fish and plantains on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

Plate the fried fish alongside the crispy plantains and slaw, adding pickled vegetables or chimol as desired.
