Tilapia with Shito Sauce
Whole tilapia fish, seasoned and fried to crispy perfection, served with a generous portion of spicy Ghanaian shito (pepper sauce). A popular and flavorful meal enjoyed across Ghana.
🧂 सामग्री
- 2 medium Whole Tilapia(cleaned and scaled)
- 3 cups Vegetable Oil(for frying)
- to taste Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1/2 cup Shito Sauce(store-bought or homemade)
👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Rinse the cleaned tilapia thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin.
- 2
Make a few diagonal slits on both sides of each fish, about 1-inch apart. This helps the seasoning penetrate and ensures even cooking.
- 3
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the fish, inside the cavity, and into the slits.
- 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge at least half of the fish.
- 5
Carefully place one fish into the hot oil, ensuring it doesn't overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- 6
Remove the fried fish from the oil and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat with the second fish.
- 7
Serve the crispy fried tilapia hot, accompanied by a generous serving of shito sauce on the side for dipping.
