Quick and Easy Red Snapper Recipe

This red snapper recipe was passed to me by a good friend who knows his way around the kitchen and is also well known for his fish fry events.  I remember the last time I went to his fish fry, people were standing by with plates in hand.  As soon as, a batch of fish finished frying it went straight from the deep fryer to the plates of his hungry guest.

I kinda felt sorry for my friend because he would always spend so much time preparing this fish and not enough time getting to know and enjoying his guest.  The good news, is that his friends and family would always leave the fish fry satisfied with a full stomach.

I'm sure you'll enjoy preparing this recipe for fried red snapper fish.
