Make 3 diagonal cuts on the flesh of each fish. In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate the fish in this mixture for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

While the fish is marinating, prepare the tajadas. Peel the green plantains and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). You can use a mandoline for uniform slices.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Dredge each marinated fish in flour, ensuring it's evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Carefully place the floured fish into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

While the fish is frying, fry the plantain slices in batches until golden and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt.

Remove the fried fish from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the fresh tajadas, pickled red cabbage, pickled onions, and lime wedges.
