Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 whole red snappers, scaled and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons of Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
-
Rinse the snappers under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
-
Make diagonal cuts on each side of the snapper to allow for even cooking.
-
In a small bowl, combine the jerk seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the snappers, inside and out.
-
In a shallow dish, place the flour and coat each snapper with a generous amount of flour, pressing it into the skin for better adhesion.
-
In a large frying pan, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat.
-
Carefully place the snappers in the pan, taking care not to overcrowd. Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Transfer the fried snappers to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
-
Serve the Jamaican fried snappers hot with lime wedges on the side.
