Steps

15 min
  1. 1

    Make sure the fish is scaled, gutted, and cleaned.

  2. 2

    Cut slits into the fish so the salt, pepper, and garlic powder can be sprinkled on top and into the cuts.

  3. 3

    Place the fish on a rack and carefully lower it into hot oil. You can use a regular pot—just add enough oil to cover the side of the fish. Fry for 5 minutes on each side over high heat. Be careful when adding the fish to the hot oil.
