👨🍳 Инструкции

Prepare the curtido: In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. In a separate small bowl, whisk together white vinegar, water, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the fish, stirring occasionally.

In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each fish in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
💡 Профессиональные советы: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a piece of fish is added, but not smoking. - 5
Carefully place one fish at a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The flesh should flake easily with a fork.
⏱️ 16-20 minutes - 6
Remove the fried fish from the oil and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil.
