I shy away from cooking fish indoors in my kitchen as I can&#8217;t stand the fish odor lingering in my kitchen. Hope the Summer lasts forever over here \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>One of the fish I&#8217;ve been devouring a lot has been Sea bream, it is one of the tastiest fish so meaty &amp; doesn&#8217;t have the fishy smell. However, I haven&#8217;t seen this fish being sold while in Kerala.<\/p>\n<p>In Kerala, with fish, we make fish curries &amp; fried fish. I like fried fish more than the fish in the curries. When I buy whole fish, my first thought is to fry the fish. The other day when I got fresh whole sea bream fish, I just went ahead &amp; pan-fried it after marinating it with a nice homemade marinade.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried sea bream fish, do give it a try, very tasty fish that can be used for making curries, frying, grilling, or making Kerala specialty meen pollichathu.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/?s=fish+curry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kerala Fish curry Recipes, Click Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/kerala-style-meen-pollichathu-or-whole-fish-cooked-in-banana-leaf-steamed-popular-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meen Pollichathu, Whole fish Wrapped In Banana Leaf &amp; Steamed Recipe, Click Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-sea-bream-fish-fry-recipe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-sea-bream-fish-fry-recipe.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-sea-bream-fish-fry-recipe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Kerala-sea-bream-fish-fry-recipe-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Whole Sea Bream Fish Fry &#8211; Indian Seafood Recipe<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT55M\">55 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole sea bream fish or any kind of whole fish<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut oil- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 2 sprigs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making marinade[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Kashmiri chili powder- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Regular hot chili powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground black pepper- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Gram flour or besan- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Rice flour- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Lemon juice- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 3 to 4 tbsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I used whole sea bream fish, it&#8217;s a very tasty &amp; meaty fish.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">It was already cleaned so I just had to rinse it in running water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">If the fish is uncleaned, you have to remove the scales from the skin, using a knife scrape off the scales.
