Directions:
First wash your fish with fresh lime or lemon juice. You can soak it in water and lime while you prep your onions & peppers. This gets rid of the rawness of the fish. Make 2 diagonal slits about 1/2 inch deep on both sides of the fish. Pat each fish dry with a paper towel. This is important. Wet fish will fall apart in the oil. Now that your fish is dry begin adding the seasonings listed above. Repeat the list for every fish you make. Massage the seasoning into the fish. At this point, add your 1 cup of oil to your pan and start heating your oil on medium Now get your flour and lightly sprinkle and pat the flour onto each fish until your fish has a light coating of flour completely covering it. Your oil should be hot now. Do not begin frying the fish unless your oil is hot! Fry each fish 4-5 min on each side until golden brown and set aside.
Sauce:
Throw off half the oil and discard. The half remaining you will now, on medium heat, begin making your sauce. Add your onions and peppers. Sautee 1 min. The seasonings listed above you will add now and continue to sautee for another 2 min. Add your ketchup. Sautee 1 min. Add your vinegar. Sautee for another minute. Pour the sauce on top of the fish and now you can enjoy!
