Spicy Fried Tilapia is how I treat myself to a good meal on a weekend. If you work in a fast paced city, it sometimes leaves us little time to enjoy a great meal. The weekend is usually our only window to seat back and enjoy a meal. Fish cooked with the bones is not one of those things you can eat in a hurry. Speaking of fish, I always wonder at people who love eating fish head, and by the way there are many. The art of eating fish head is interesting to watch. I am content to take the middle with lots of flesh.
My little hassle free recipe of Spicy Fried Tilapia Fish with oven Roasted Plantain is sure going to make your weekend quite delightful.

This is beautiful. Well done ma’am
I always enjoy reading simple and great recipes like this. This always makes me not wanting to stay away from your kitchen. But as much as every bloger would want to reduce the data size of what
he/she uploads, honestly, I think you’d help us more if you include pictures that tell more about the processes taking place (how a particular step was carried out) and less of pictures showing more of the final product – one or two should be ok for that. This would really go a long way in
helping us understand better. Thanks and
Well done for the great job.
