Morena Cuadra’s selected chicharrón de pescado coats supplied cubes of fish filet in flour, fries them in vegetable oil and serves them with sauces and chifles. She describes the fish preparation as popular in Peru and credits chef Roberto Cuadra for preparing it with her.
The supplied fish cubes go into a bowl, receive salt, pepper and the listed juice from half a limón, and are stirred together. Flour is added to cover the fish pieces.
The coated fish is placed in a colander and shaken to remove excess flour. The selected recipe uses its listed flour coating before frying.
Vegetable oil heats in a pot, and the fish fries quickly until golden. It is removed and drained on paper towel.
The fish is served immediately with the listed tartar sauce, ají sauce and prepared chifles. The sauces and fried side accompany the flour-coated pieces.
