Fried Fish Iraqi Style
This is a tasty fried fish which we like served with rice and Recipe#387327. I have made this with whole deboned light skinned fish as well increasing the coating as needed based on fish size. No need to remove the heads! I always make our version gluten free using double the amount of white rice flour and half the amount sweet rice flour & tapioca starch, though it fries OK I can see it would work better with regular flour.
