Fish Fry is a versatile and beloved seafood snack that varies from the spicy versions of South India to the subtle fries of the East. This preparation features fresh fish steaks coated in a fiery red marinade of chili, turmeric, and local spices, ensuring a bold flavor profile. The fish is shallow-fried in hot oil until the exterior is crisp and golden while the meat remains succulent and tender. It offers a satisfying crunch followed by a burst of savory spices in every bite. This dish is a mandatory accompaniment to dal-rice or can be served as a stellar standalone appetizer with lemon wedges.

Tips & Secrets
- Making slits in the fish allows the spices to reach the bone, enhancing the overall taste.
- Rice flour or semolina (rava) coating is the secret to a professional-grade crispy crust.
- Always fry on medium heat; high heat burns the exterior while the inside remains raw.
- Using fresh lemon juice in the marinade helps in breaking down the fibers for a tender bite.
