Description

Fish Salt and Pepper is a popular Indo-Chinese starter made with tender fish fillets that are marinated, lightly coated, and deep-fried to golden perfection. Once crisp, the fish is tossed with sautéed garlic, green chilies, onions, and crushed black pepper, making it a perfect balance of heat, crunch, and flavor.

Known for its minimal yet bold seasoning—mainly salt and black pepper—this dish highlights the natural flavors of the fish, elevated with the punch of garlic and the heat of chilies. It’s usually served dry as an appetizer or party snack but can be accompanied with fried rice or noodles as a light main course.

Quick to make and high in protein, it’s a go-to recipe in many Indo-Chinese and Asian fusion restaurants, loved for its crispy texture and peppery bite.
