Whole Fried Red Snapper
This one’s for my ambitious cooks out there. A fried whole fish is not only delicious, but it’s eye catching and I like that I feel like a caveman while eating it. I served this one up with a sauce that has some Thai-inspired flavors, like lemongrass, scallion, chilies, fish sauce, and citrus. It’s a sauce that just hits all notes and it shouldn’t be limited to just this–use it on anything and everything. Some smashed cucumbers and jasmine rice turns this into the perfect meal. This was actually my first time cooking a whole fish and if I could do it you certainly can. If you are not comfortable with frying a whole fish, you can even use fish filets (makes it easier to eat too), or you can roast it in the oven without the flour.
