Spicy Fish Fry

Fish meat is a good source of protein and doesn’t have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products contain in them. Fish meat is a low calorie and perfect diet food. Fish meat, is rich with Omega 3 fatty acids, which are heart-friendly. Today Iam going to share with you a simple and spicy fish recipe. My mom shallow fries the fish and my mom-in-law deep fry the fish. Sometimes I shallow fry some pieces and deep fry some. It is upto you how you want to fry the fish. Both the fries taste the same in the end. Fish fry can be stored for 2-3 days. Come share a piece with me,
