Pepper Fish Fry:
Baked Whole Fish. Baked Pepper Fish. Meen Milagu Varuval.
I have been wanting to cook ‘whole fish’ for a pretty long time! When you cook an animal whole with its skin-on and bone-in…it always ends up tastier, more succulent, less likely to dry out and its very interesting to spend some quality time, encountering the fish on the dinner plate!! For a little more quite an adventurous meal…I would also like to accompany my friends for a fishing trip and head back to grill the catch!! With this weather condition, the plan was completely moot!!!
Anyway, when I spotted this good looking fish (better than the frozen fillets) bagged it quickly. Without putting too much thought into it, I attempted this pepper fish! However, I would like to create a new category saying ‘Fast‘!! Yeah, its fashioned around the usual style, just prepared some basic spice rub (no, not the store bought one’). Since I have been very successful baking chicken, tofu, mushrooms etc…it was decided to be done in the same way. In many ways it did simplify the process!
Ingredients:
Whole fish (still prefer with head tho’)
Salt
Lemon juice /vinegar
Pepper powder – fresh
White pepper powder 1 spoon
Walnuts/almonds ground 1-2 teaspoons
Olive oil few spoons.
Method:
Wash and clean the fish several times, remove the gut and gills.
Combine all the above mentioned ingredients and marinate the fish in it for 2-4 hours.
Bake them for about 20-30 minutes over 350 F. If necessary broil them briefly for 2 minutes.
Which fish is it..lovely baking…Without the head, it looks more palatable..
Whee! Fish! I’d gulp them up leaving the bones!

Awesome fry dear..even I too like baking fish…the seasonings you have used here are interesting…will try your version soon
Baking a whole fish seems a great idea dear. Lovely presentation.
I have recently gave up meat for a little while but this looks so incredibly good that I may bust out the rod and reel to get my hands on a whole fish to fry. This dish looks absolutely yummy. Wow, I miss fish, maybe I will just give up real meat and let fish slip through? Yeah, that sounds good.
Thats a pretty sweet idea to bake it whole..looks so yummy.and with pepper..If its the fresh pepper you cant beat it with anything else !!
Looks really good….btw which fish did u used…
