Remove the fins from the fish using scissors.
Ensure the fish is thoroughly cleaned by removing any remaining scales and rinsing it.
Use lemon juice to rub around the fish to eliminate odors, then rinse again.
Dry the fish with paper towels to prepare for frying.
Cut the fish into portions and score it to allow for better frying and marinating.
Season the fish with salt, onion powder, ginger powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, ensuring it is well covered.
Set the seasoned fish aside while heating the oil.
Add fresh rosemary to the oil for flavor infusion as it heats up.
Dust the fish lightly with flour for crispiness before frying.
Heat the oil until it is sizzling hot before adding the fish to prevent it from soaking up oil.
Fry the fish for about 5 to 6 minutes on one side, then flip it to cook the other side for about 4 minutes.
Turn the fish occasionally to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
Transfer the fried fish to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Fry the head parts last to avoid changing the color of the fish.
