Ingredients

  • 1 pound red snapper filets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

How To Make garlic-lime marinated fried red snapper fingers

  • Step 1
    Cut 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 2
    Beat 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 3
    Heat 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.
  • Step 4
    Garnish the fish fingers with parsley and serve with lime slices and if preferred, tartar sauce.
