Steps:
- Combine the first 10 ingredients in a pie plate or some other deep platter; stir well to blend.
- Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Grill or broil the fish steaks about 3 inches from heat source for 5-7 minutes (time depends on how hot the heat source is), or until lightly browned on one side.
- Turn steak over and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
- Check for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the steak--fish is done when it changes color from translucent to opaque.
- Serve steaks on individual plates with lime wedge for garnish.
- I like to squeeze the lime wedge over the fish for extra POW.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Fish: Select a firm-fleshed fish such as tilapia, cod, or catfish for best results.
- Marinate Wisely: Allow the fish to marinate in the garlic-vinegar-oregano-cumin mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse flavor.
- Achieving a Crispy Crust: Before frying, pat the fish dry to remove excess marinade and ensure a crispy crust.
- Frying Technique: Use a large skillet or deep fryer with plenty of oil to prevent overcrowding and maintain a consistent temperature.
- Perfect Timing: Fry the fish in small batches until golden brown and cooked through, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Draining and Seasoning: Drain the fried fish on paper towels to remove excess oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
