"The combo of crisp fried fish and silky smooth avocado works extremely well in this recipe. In the islands of the Caribbean where this dish originated, the fish is often served with fried dumplings or hard-dough bread."

Very nice dinner. The fish didn't really get crispy, so I pour out the oil, turned up the heat and fried it a minute or so more on each side. I saw this recipe in "The Illustrated Food and Cooking of the Caribbean Central & South America" cookbook by Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli.
