Pescado Frito: Whole Fried Fish Done Right

December 20, 2025 • 4 min read

Pescado Frito

There's something special about a whole fried fish — the crispy skin, the tender meat, the dramatic presentation. Pescado Frito is a showstopper at Five Stars Honduras, and it's one of our most popular dishes.

The Art of Frying Fish

Cooking a whole fish perfectly requires skill and patience. The fish is scored, seasoned with garlic, lime, and spices, then fried until the skin is impossibly crispy while the meat inside stays moist and flaky.

The Complete Plate

Our Pescado Frito comes with:

  • Whole fried fish with crispy skin
  • Fluffy white rice
  • Fried plantains (tajadas)
  • Fresh cabbage salad
  • Lime wedges
  • Warm tortillas

It's a feast for the eyes and the stomach!
