Hi Gurus of the piscatorial world.

I have had a smallish (bit under a kilo cleaned) snapper land in my fridge.

I need a recipe for whole deep fried fish.

I was thinking to score both sides several times, rub in salt, pepper and fresh chilli, dust with flour and slip it into a shallow pan of oil, three or four minutes each side.

Am I close?

sounds bloody lovely mate....
the only thing missing is the amber fluid
enjoy

Oh, don't worry.

There'll be amber fluid as a side dish...

Why do you need our advice as that recipe sounds delicous.

Yep.

I used to do it similarly, except I would put the dry ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, etc.) into a freezer bag, rinse and wipe down the fish and then drop the fish into the bag, and then inflate the bag. Hold it closed with one hand and shake it to coat the fish with the dry mix.

Enjoy!

When and where do we show up?

One of my favourites yum!!!

It turned out OK. Actually better than OK.

Perfect eating size. Looks the goods

Funny this thread turning up, my little sister cooked us a nice 4 1/2kg snapper whole for dinner last night, I could have eaten the whole lot myself.
