Plantains are a brilliant invention of nature. I always keep some plantains at home. You can whip up something quick and easy with them.

Whether with fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, or something else. Fried, it's a great and healthier alternative to fries. Steamed, it's a substitute for potatoes, rice, and the like. Mashed or grilled, and so on and so forth…

Combined with sea bass, my favorite fish, it's a real treat. It takes me right back to my childhood. Back then, we often had grilled sea bass with grilled or fried plantains, bobolo, or miondo ( cassava ) at home on Saturday evenings.

In today's recipe, everything is deep-fried. A super simple and quick dish that's ready in no time.

Have fun cooking!
