VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER
I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

FRIED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH SPICY CHILE SAUCE
Steps:
- Mix the fish sauce, water, chile garlic sauce, the lime juice, and sugar together in a small pan and bring to a boil.
- Fill a large heavy saute pan with 1-inch of oil and heat for 5 minutes until hot, but not smoking.
- Make 2 diagonal cuts on each side of the fish for ease of cooking. Salt, pepper, and flour both sides of the fish. Fish should be dry, as to not splatter oil when frying. Lower fish into oil, the oil should bubble vigorously. Cook 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Check cuts on fish for doneness.
- When fish is almost cooked, heat up sauce and stir in cornstarch mixture while sauce is boiling. Sauce should be slightly thick, but not lumpy. Remove fish from oil and slightly dry with paper towels. Add scallions to the sauce and pour over fish to cover. Serve with steamed rice.
BRONZED RED SNAPPER WITH LIME CHIPOTLE CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- For the crepe batter: Whisk together the egg and cream in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the seasoned flour: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated garlic, white pepper, black pepper and ranch dressing mix in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- For the bronzing flour: Whisk together the blackfish seasoning, sugar and yellow flour in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- For the snapper: Dredge the fish through the crepe batter and then place immediately into the seasoned flour and cover generously on all sides. Set aside or in the fridge while the cream sauce is prepared.
- For the lime chipotle cream sauce: Make a roux: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring with a whisk constantly until the consistency of batter and there are no lumps, about 5 minutes. Let the mixture reach a simmer. Stir occasionally until the roux is brown and smooth, up to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Stir in the chipotles, adobo sauce and lime juice. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cream, chicken base and hot sauce and simmer until reduced by one-third. Thicken with the roux a little bit at a time, making sure to whisk it in so it doesn't clump, until desired consistency is reached. Finish with salt and pepper.
- To finish the snapper: Heat a saute pan on medium heat. Lightly dust the snapper filet with the bronzing flour. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot pan. Cook the filet until crispy golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per each side. Finish with some lime chipotle cream sauce and the diced green onions. Reserve the remaining lime chipotle sauce for another use.
FRIED SNAPPER WITH CREOLE SAUCE
Best enjoyed using local snapper, this bright dish represents the protein part of fish and fungi, a classic duo on dinner tables in the Virgin Islands. The fish is topped with plenty of thyme-laced, tomato-based Creole sauce and is typically served over a bed of fungi, the classic Virgin Islands side dish of buttery cooked cornmeal with sliced, boiled okra. Michael Anthony Watson and Judy Watson, husband-and-wife owners of Petite Pump Room in St. Thomas, traditionally use whole fried snapper for this recipe, but you can use fish fillets. For authenticity, serve them with plenty of hot sauce on the side for a little extra heat.

Steps:
- Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium until shimmering. Add the onions, red and green bell peppers and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, thyme and 1 3/4 cups water; bring to a boil over high.
- Stir in the white vinegar and seasoning salt, reduce the temperature to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fish: Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium. On a large plate, mix the flour and seasoning salt with a fork.
- Pat the snapper fillets dry using paper towels, and season 2 fillets with salt and pepper before dipping them into the flour mixture until coated on both sides.
- Once the oil is shimmering, gently lay the floured fillets in the hot oil, skin-side down, and cook until skin is crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully flip fillets and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
- Transfer the fish to a large paper-towel-lined plate. Cover loosely with foil and repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Divide fish among plates, skin side up, and top with the Creole sauce. Serve immediately, passing hot sauce at the table.
