Critical Success Points
- • Steam the snapper just until opaque; over‑cooking makes it dry.
- • Do not over‑mix the fish mixture; keep some texture.
- • Test one cake in the oil before frying the whole batch.
- • Maintain proper oil temperature (≈350°F) for a crisp crust.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot oil can cause severe burns; use a splatter guard and keep a lid nearby.
- • Scotch bonnet peppers are extremely hot; wear gloves when handling and avoid touching your face.
- • Steam can cause scalds; open the steamer lid away from your face.
