A nice twist to ordinary fried fish fingers -- the garlic/lime marinade gives the fish a delicious flavor. Great for a light lunch. Serve with your favorite tartar sauce. *Cook time does not include marinating the fish fingers.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb red snapper filets
2 clove garlic, minced
juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 c olive oil
1 egg
2 Tbsp water
1/2 c cracker meal
1/2 c flour
dash nutmeg (optional)
salt and pepper, if desired

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 4. Garnish the fish fingers with parsley and serve with lime slices and if preferred, tartar sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out really bland. I think I didn't let it marinate for long enough.

I wanted to make this dish healthier, so I baked the fish instead of frying it. It turned out great!

I'm allergic to garlic, so I omitted it from the marinade. The fish was still delicious.

I didn't have any red snapper on hand, so I used tilapia instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just used too much chili powder. Next time I'll use less.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The fish cooks in just a few minutes, and the marinade can be made ahead of time.

I'm not usually a fan of fried fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The fish was light and flaky, and the marinade gave it a wonderful flavor.

The marinade really makes this dish. The flavors of the garlic, lime, and spices really come through in the fish.

I've never had fried red snapper before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
