Crispy Fried Mackerel with Garlic & Ginger Marinade

• Ingredients:

  
  

  • 2 Sunny Seafood Frozen Mackerels (thawed)

  • 1 tbsp Sunny Seafood Frozen Peeled Garlic (thawed)

  • 1 tbsp Sunny Seafood Frozen Ginger (thawed)

  • 1 ½ tsp Red Chili Powder (or to taste)

  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder

  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice

  • Salt to taste

  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (for frying)

  • Lime Wedges (for garnishing)

  Method:

• Using a mortar and pestle, mash the fresh ginger and garlic into a smooth paste.

• In a bowl, combine the ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.

• Make three diagonal slits along both sides of each mackerel.

• Using the back of a spoon or your hands, evenly coat the fish with the marinade, ensuring it seeps into the slits. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

• Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the marinated mackerel into the hot oil and fry for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. Flip gently to prevent breaking the flesh and skin.

• Serve hot, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and lime wedges.
