Fresh Catch - Fish Fry

So, did you get anything? – I asked

Yeah – he said with a wide grin

My husband loves fishing. He is like a 10 year old boy when it comes to fishing. He would gladly resign from his job if he could and would do fishing every day. He and his friends wakeup at 3 a.m in the morning and would go fishing during certain seasons near a beach here. They catch so much fish, it lasts almost a year for us.

What is happier than getting it fresh? Making a fish fry instantly! It reminds me of my trips to the beautiful Kaveri Dam where street vendors with small kerosene stoves sell you fresh fried fish. Yumm…This is a very delicious recipe for fried fish.

Fresh caught fish - 2. Yeah, no compromise! (hehehe, rubbing some salt, eh?)
Clean the fish, pat dry and cut across lightly for the marinade to get into the fish.For two fish, Grind 2 tsp chili powder, ¼ tsp turmeric, 1/2 inch ginger, 2 sprig curry leaves, enough salt and 1 tsp lemon juice. Marinate the fish and keep aside for half and hour.Heat a pan, add ¼ cup oil, and keep heat in low to medium. Fry fish on both sides.Serve with lemon wedges. My husband loves it just like this as a main dish, so it reminds him of his favourite Bharat Seafood Resturant at Mumbai.

Sorry dear friends, I first had problems with Blogger Beta which made me crazy so wanted to take a break until it got resolved. But then, got lazy ;) Needed some days, when I didn’t have to worry about the camera or about a write-up to eat food :)
