Fish Fry with Indian spices /Snook fish fry

This is a easy fish fry with the usual Indian spices shallow fried to perfection. Snook is the smaller version of the Barracuda. It has one center bone running through to its tail with small bones on either sides of the finger.The local supermarkets have fish filleted but the choice of fish is limited. We bought this fish at a local fish store in Findon and below is a recipe for the same

Keep aside for 30-45 mins

Heat oil in a pan , shallow fry the fish pieces on low medium for about 2-3 mins on each side. 

 

 

Notes :

Fish must be cooked through to have a soft texture.If you cook the fish longer it will taste rubbery and lose the texture.
