Steps to make Pescaítos Fritos (Andalusian Style Deep Fried Baby Fish):
  1. Soak the fish in ice water for 20 minutes or so. This will keep it from getting overcooked and tough. Then drain thoroughly. - - At this point, you'll want to heat start pre-heating your oil in a deep saute pan or pot (or in my case, a wok) over medium-high-ish heat to somewhere between 350 to 375F.
  2. Season the fish with salt and give it a few gentle tosses. - - Prep a wide bowl or plate with paper towels/paper bags/ or newsprint to soak up the oil and set it near the frying station.
  3. While the fish absorbs the seasoning, mix flour and starch in a tray or dish with sides. By this time, your oil should be ready. - - If you don't have a thermometer, you can check the readiness by putting a pinch of the flour mixture into the oil and if it starts gently sizzling right away, it's ready.
  4. Toss a third of the fish in the flour and starch mixture, shake off most of the excess, and gently lower into the oil. (Do not drop from a distance or hot oil will splatter on you.)
  5. Fry for 3.5 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown, giving it a stir or two halfway just to make sure everything gets evenly cooked.
  6. Fish* (pun intended :P) the fish out, let it drain for a few second on the side of your cooking vessel, then set it aside in your dish. - - Repeat Steps 4 and 5 two more times with the other two thirds of the fish.
  7. Serve with fresh lemon to squeeze over the fish right before eating. Enjoy! :)
