The Perfect Fried Baraccuda Fish

barracuda fish

🥗Healthier: tilapia

💰Cheaper: catfish

Tilapia is more widely available and often less expensive, while still providing a similar texture.

Clean the barracuda fish using lemon to wash it and remove the fishy smell.

Soak the fish in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes.

Drain the water from the fish and sprinkle with salt.

Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat.

Season flour with fish stock powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, ginger powder, and curry powder, then mix well.

Coat the fish in the seasoned flour immediately before frying.

Gently place the fish in the hot oil, frying three at a time to avoid crowding the pan.

Fry the fish for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the bubbling reduces.

Remove the fish from the oil and continue frying the rest, replacing burnt herbs with fresh ones as needed.
