Instructions
-
Prepare the Fish: Clean the Nile perch thoroughly, making shallow cuts across the body to allow for even cooking. Drain excess water to ensure the fish isn’t too wet.
-
Marinate: Squeeze lime or lemon juice over the entire surface of the fish, ensuring it’s well coated. Sprinkle salt generously over both sides. Allow the fish to marinate for about one hour to absorb the flavors.
-
Fry: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully place the marinated fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning once for even cooking.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, enjoying the delightful flavors of the crispy fried fish.
This dish is perfect for a quick and delicious meal!
