I had grilled sardines last night in SANto domingo. I assume they were frozen. Do sardines swims in Dominican waters? When I was a kid and we fished off a dock or dingy we frequently caught a fish called porgie. Crazy, but it wasn’t considered for our table as it was the fish favored by African Americans in my hometown. Naturally, it was referred to with a distinctly offensive appellation. I think in Spanish it’s called mojarra. A least it looks the same when I get it fried whole in Latino restaurants in USA.
Ever try blowfish. You get two little bite size filets per fish. Yummy.
My uncles and cousins were fisherman. Gave us bushels of free fish. My parents would spend hours and hours preparing it for the freezer. We ate it every Friday, not just during lent. Fried fish, mashed potatoes and stewed tomatoes. Often with green beans from our garden or a local farm.
I hope you enjoy your fish fry.
Have you experimented with panko bread crumbs? Makes a nice crunch.
