Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, water, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 2
Add the bluefish pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Do not marinate for too long as the vinegar can start to 'cook' the fish.
- 3
After marinating, remove the fish from the refrigerator. Drain the fish pieces from the marinade, discarding any excess liquid.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 4
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, shaking off any excess, to lightly coat all sides.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: A thin, even coating of flour will ensure a crisp exterior.
- 5
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 3-5 minutes.
Yaklaşık 4 dk.
Aşçının notu: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a piece of fish is added, but not smoking.
- 6
Carefully add the floured fish pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Yaklaşık 8 dk.
Aşçının notu: Overcrowding the pan will lower the oil temperature and prevent the fish from getting crispy.
- 7
Remove the cooked fish with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Serve the Japuta en Adobo immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Aşçının notu: This dish is best enjoyed warm, but can also be served at room temperature.
