Pescado Frito

Pescado Frito is a delicious fried fish dish popular in many Latin American countries.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a shallow dish, combine lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fish fillets in the marinade, turning to coat both sides. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
In a separate shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour and cornmeal.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it evenly.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the coated fish fillets in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried fish from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Pescado Frito hot with lime wedges and your choice of side dishes.
