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.
