Notes

Tips & Notes
Proper and even marinating of the fish is the first and foremost step of this recipe
If you prefer the red-coloured fish fries served in hotels you can use store bought fish fry masala . But I highly recommend not adding.
I usually marinate the fish for 1 hour. Try to marinate at least for 30 mins.
We usually fry fish in batches . After 2-3 batches of fish if you find the oil is low you can add it later. Always add oil little by little as you need
Serving Suggestions
Fish fry goes well with rice and any curry. Preferably sambar or fish curry.
Storing Options
Fish fry tastes best only when served hot. So do not recommend freezing or storing. However you can still store marinated un cooked fish in freezer for a week.
