Welcome viewers to the video and introduce the recipe for Pescado Frito con Tajadas.

Cut the whole fish in half to make it easier to fry due to lack of a large fryer.

Season the fish with garlic salt, black pepper, and cumin, ensuring to add a little extra salt.

Let the fish marinate for a while after seasoning.

Coat the fish in all-purpose flour, making sure to cover it well on both sides and in the cuts.

Preheat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Carefully place the fish in the hot oil and fry, turning down the heat to medium to avoid overcooking.

Fry the fish until it is golden brown on both sides, checking for doneness.

While the fish is frying, peel and slice the green plantains into thick pieces.

Fry the plantain slices in the same oil until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt if desired.

Prepare a slaw by mixing shredded cabbage, grated carrot, diced cucumber, and tomato in a bowl.

Serve the fried fish with the fried plantains and slaw on the side, adding lime juice over the fish.
