Note

• Achieve the ideal balance between wet and dry coatings. The wet coating ensures the dry coating adheres well, resulting in a crispy and flavorful exterior.
• Allow the fish to marinate with lime, salt, and pepper for a sufficient amount of time. This not only imparts flavor but also helps tenderize the fish.
• Maintain the right oil temperature while frying. Too hot, and the coating may burn before the fish is cooked; too cold, and the fish won't be crispy. Aim for a golden brown finish.
