Ingredients

• Marinade
• 1 tablespoon of allspice
• 1 teaspoon of thyme
• 2 scallions, finely chopped
• 1-2 Scotch bonnet peppers, finely chopped (adjust to taste
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• Black pepper to taste
• Tilapia
• 2-3 tilapia fish (whole or filleted)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Flour (optional, for dusting)

Directions

• In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients.
• Rub the marinade all over the tilapia, ensuring it gets into the cuts and inside the cavity if cooking whole.
• Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes but ideally for 1–2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Season the marinated tilapia with salt and pepper. If you prefer, lightly dust the fish with flour to create a crispy coating.
• Carefully place the fish in the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
• Fry for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
