Ingredients

  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 4 fillets barracuda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 ghost pepper, small dice (you can substitute habanero chile)
  • 2 plantains, sliced 2-inches thick diagonally
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Peas and Rice, for serving, recipe follows
  • Salad, for serving, recipe follows

Instructions

  1. Heat about 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet or deep high-sided saute pan.
  2. Sprinkle the barracuda with 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic salt. Mix together the lime juice and ghost pepper in a wide shallow dish and add the fish, turning to coat. Let marinate while frying the plantains.
  3. Fry the plantains in the oil, flipping once, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish. Combine the flour and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic salt in a second shallow dish. Coat the barracuda fillets first in the egg wash, and then in the flour. Fry the fillets in the oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, and then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  5. Serve the fish with a couple fried plantains, Peas and Rice and Salad.

  7. Heat the oil in a large saucepot, and cook the bacon until the fat begins to render, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning, pigeon peas, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil, stir in the rice, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, until the rice is tender, about 1 hour.
  8. Combine the Romaine, onions, bell pepper and tomato in a large mixing bowl. Dress with the ranch dressing.
