It is nice and sunny today here in West Palm Beach, Florida. The weather is almost the same as that of Manila, which makes it suitable to fry fish outside. This was the reason why I decided to make this Crispy Fried Mahi Mahi Sarciado. I also thought that this is a good way to make the most out of our stay here because we are flying back home to Chicago soon. It will be challenging for me to do the same because of the single digit temperature .
Crispy Fried Mahi Mahi Sarciado is not your regular fish sarciado dish. Aside from using fish fillet, I also made sure that there is a bit of texture in the dish, so I coated it with flour and deep fried it until crispy. The sauce, which is composed of chopped tomato, onion, and bell pepper, was poured over the Mahi mahi before serving it.
There is nothing fancy about this dish. In fact, this is an easy dish to cook which I recommend to those of you who are just starting their culinary journey. As long as you follow the detailed steps in the recipe below, you should be alright.
What do you eat Crispy Fried Mahi Mahi Sarciado with? The first thing that comes to mind is rice, of course. It can be steamed white rice, brown rice, and even wild rice. You can also have this with vegetables on the side. Since I am thinking something Filipino, I would like this with boiled okra and eggplant with just enough bagoong , How about you?
