Tips & Tricks
If using whole fish, remove the head, wash it thoroughly, and dry it before frying.
Cooking time may vary depending on the weight and size of the fish. Adjust accordingly.
For a more intense flavor, marinate the fish in lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes before cooking.
Serve with a side dish like white rice, creamy potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
