Crispy Fried Fish

I made this last night just before our dinner.. As we are only two and every time he brings more then required fish for meal..i think its his way to get fish in different forms 
Generally i prepare pan fried fish in usual way..this time i added some more spices and also crispy coating..It turned our total delight ( i mean what can go wrong with fish fry  )

I marinated the fish for around 3-4 hours but i think more is better..so next time i will prefer overtime.MAke sure your oil is not very hot otherwise u will end-up burnt skin.

Freshly fried
