Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

So how do you all fry fish? What type of fish? What type of seasonings? Just trying to get some ideas

This is what I do.

I wash the fish in salt and lemon juice, let it dry. In a bowl, I mix up seasoning, black pepper, a just touch of white salt, becuase the seasoning all ready have enough salt in it. Then I rub not sprinkle...I rub it inside the fish and outside and let it sit for a little. Then I make the oil really hot...hot hot hot (but don't BURN it). I love spicy food and I love it when the fish have a little kick to it, so I drop 1/2 of scoth bonnet pepper in the oil (DISCLAIMER) you might want to open your windows or go stand somewhere else until the pepper burn off or your eyes are going to burn like hell. If you don't want it to be too hot (spicy) take out the seeds. That's the hottest part of the pepper. Then u just fry dem one by one. I also make little slits in the sides of the fish. Saw my grandmother do that, she say the seasoning will soak into the fish while it's frying. Then you all done. Enjoy your meal. Oh, one more very important thing...

What time is dinner?

I mix my seasoning with flour and thanks for the reminder that i need to buy some.

I use flour with mine as well. And I like to cook it outside - no stink!!

I also try to fry mine outside, but if you have to do it inside I put on a pot of cinnamon and vinegar and sometimes organe peel and it keeps the smell down

I always light a citrus candle that I keep in my kitchen just for that purpose...works pretty well at keeping down odors when cooking

Boiling cinnamin works well - I also sprinkle a few cloves into the water

Not me - I am way too much the spoiled Amercian. I buy it already cut up and ready to cook! Same with chicken and pork - boneless and skinless.
