Ingredients
Canola oil, for frying
1 whole black sea bass with head and tail, scaled and cleaned, at room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup semolina, or masa harina (coarse flour)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
- In a medium Dutch oven add enough canola oil that fish is submerged by 1-inch of oil, and heat oil to 350 degrees F.
