Heat 2.5 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or frying pan until hot.

Fry the seasoned fish in the deep fryer until cooked through and crispy, then drain on a strainer.

Fry the sliced plantains in the hot oil until golden brown, ensuring to monitor them closely to avoid burning.

Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels.
