Jamaican Fried Fish Recipe by Kemoy McCurbyn

Fried fish is just one of the many ways that we prepare our fish.  And Fish, when fried, can be had with any side dish. In Jamaican it is famously eaten with bammy or festival. The snapper by the way, is our preferred choice when it comes to frying or preparing fish, as this particular fish has a lot of flesh and has a great taste.
