How To Make garlic-lime marinated fried red snapper fingers
-
Step 1Cut fish filets into thing strips. Mix together the garlic, lime juice, nutmeg and 1/2 tsp. of olive oil. Allow fish to marinate for at least 2 hours.
-
Step 2Beat the egg and water in a shallow bowl. Dip the filets in the beaten egg mixture and then coat with the flour. Did fish in the egg mixture again and coat with the cracker crumbs - make sure they are covered well.

Step 3Heat the oil in a saute pan and saute the fish quickly. Don't over-crowd the pan and turn down the heat if oil gets too hot - being careful not to burn the fish as the fish strips will cook very quickly.
