Fried Fish Iraqi Style image

This is a tasty fried fish which we like served with rice and Recipe#387327. I have made this with whole deboned light skinned fish as well increasing the coating as needed based on fish size. No need to remove the heads! I always make our version gluten free using double the amount of white rice flour and half the amount sweet rice flour & tapioca starch, though it fries OK I can see it would work better with regular flour.

The fish was a bit bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I used tilapia instead of sea bass and it worked out great. The fish was flaky and cooked evenly.

The fish was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

I added some lemon juice to the batter and it gave the fish a nice tangy flavor. Highly recommend!
