Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, ensuring they are well incorporated to form a smooth and even marinade.
- 2
Add the fish to the bowl, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to gently rub the mixture onto the fish for better absorption of flavors.
- 3
Cover the bowl and let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse properly. For enhanced flavor, you can leave it for a longer duration.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated fish into the pan.

Fry each side for approximately 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning while ensuring the fish is cooked through.

Remove the fish from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
