Pescado Frito<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So, before I started cooking, I was a webmaster.  After I retired, I did free web sites for marginal businesses.  One of my customers was from Somalia, and he was so appreciative that he and his wife brought us a fish cooked in the traditional way from his village.  Here is the best I was able to recreate his recipe.<\/p>\n

One whole fish, such as Cod, Shad, Trout, Bass, Snapper or Breem<\/p>\n
