Add the marinade to the fish and mix well until the fish is well coated. Set aside to marinate for about 1-2 hours.

Prepare the flour mixture by combining flour, cornstarch, and the same dry seasonings used for the fish marinade, excluding the green seasoning.

Cut the green plantains into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt, complete seasoning, and chili powder, mixing to combine.

Fry the plantains in preheated oil until they reach your desired texture, then remove and set aside.

Coat the marinated fish in the flour mixture and set aside.

Fry the coated fish in the same oil until it reaches your desired texture, adjusting frying time for crispiness.

Serve the fried fish with plantain fries and a sauce made of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce.
