Ingredients

For the Fish

1 sheet of Dory fish
1 lime, juiced

Wet Batter

2 tablespoons seasoned flour (e.g., Sajiku)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Black pepper, to taste
Water, as needed

Dry Coating

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Mushroom seasoning, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fish

Begin by rinsing the Dory fish thoroughly under cold water. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the fish, ensuring it’s well coated. Allow the fish to marinate for about 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Step 2: Make the Wet Batter

In a sealable container, combine the seasoned flour, garlic powder, and black pepper. Gradually add water, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to make the batter too runny; it should have a slightly thick consistency.

Step 3: Marinate the Fish

Rinse the fish once again to remove excess lime juice, then cut it into bite-sized pieces according to your preference. Place the fish pieces into the prepared wet batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the container and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Step 4: Coat and Fry

After chilling, take the fish out of the refrigerator. For each piece, roll it in the dry coating mixture, ensuring an even coverage. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and carefully add the coated fish pieces. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes on each side.

Step 5: Serve

Once cooked, remove the fish from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy Dory Fish Popcorn!

Enjoy!

This delightful dish is perfect for snacking or as a party appetizer. Happy cooking! 🌟
