Fried Barracuda with Fried Plantains and Salad

Heat about 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet or deep high-sided saute pan. 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. 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. 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. Serve the fish with a couple fried plantains, Peas and Rice and Salad.
