About Pacú Frito

Garlic, mustard, black pepper and green citrus juice season the fish before its flour coating. Sunflower oil is the named frying medium, with salt also used for the cassava.
The fish sits at the centre of a lettuce-lined plate, accompanied by rice, cassava and citrus wedges. The recipe also prepares fried plantain pieces, keeping the different accompaniments distinct around the fish.
