Instructions

1. Cut

Score fish 3 or 4 times diagonally on both sides.

2. Seasoning

Sprinkle each fish with a pinch of oregano, garlic, pepper, and salt. Rub each fish with the cornstarch, making sure it gets into the cuts.

3. Frying

In a frying pot heat the oil over medium-high heat (350 ºF [176 ºC]). Deep-fry one by one until golden brown on both sides. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

4. Serve

Garnish with lime wedges, and serve with extra salt on the side.
