Ingredients: 1 whole red snapper (1.5 lbs), gutted and scaled; 4 cups neutral oil for frying; 2 medium cucumbers, cut on sharp bias into 3-inch planks; 3 tbsp rice vinegar; 1 tbsp fermented black bean paste (miso works too); 2 red Thai chilis, thinly sliced; 1 tbsp palm sugar; 2 cloves garlic, minced; ½ tsp salt; 1 tsp sesame oil; Fresh cilantro and mint for garnish; 1 lime, cut into wedges

A small whole snapper is fried until every scale is shattered glass-crisp, then served with a bracingly acidic salad of charred cucumbers pickled in rice vinegar and fermented black bean paste, finished with a red chili gastrique that tastes both hot and funky. Crunchy, cooling, and addictive.
