1Season the tilapia with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure you rub it in, girl, para mas masarap!
2Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Wag masyadong mataas, baka masunog agad ang tilapia mo, sayang naman ang effort!
3Carefully place the tilapia in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Huwag magmadali, ha? Patience is key for perfectly crispy tilapia.
4Remove the tilapia from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Para hindi masyadong oily, bes!
For extra flavor, marinate the tilapia in soy sauce and calamansi juice for at least 30 minutes before frying. Super sosyal, diba?
