🎵“Es el corocoro fresco //It is the fresh corocoro
de la boca colora’// of the colored mouth
si le chupas la cabeza // if you suck its head
te quedas en Cumaná// you stay in Cumana”🎵
Comienzo este post con este estribillo muy tradicional de mi estado Sucre interpretado por nuestro cantante y compositor Hernán Marín, comienzo de esta manera porque cuando voy a comprar o comer este pescado conocido como Corocoro tengo en mente esta música, y lo popular que se hizo que la mayoría de las personas que nos visitan de otras partes de Venezuela no chupan la cabeza del corocoro porque les da miedo quedarse a vivir aquí (risas) suena gracioso. Les cuento amigos que una de las cosas que disfrutamos en nuestro estado es comer pescado fresco recién pescado ya que el estado Sucre se caracteriza por ser una zona costera, así que amigos hoy les traigo una comida ideal para un almuerzo de nuestra región oriental que es pescado frito acompañado de arepas y una buena ensalada con aguacate. Espero que lo disfruten. A continuación el paso a paso.
I start this post with this very traditional refrain from my state Sucre performed by our singer and composer Hernan Marin, I start this way because when I go to buy or eat this fish known as Corocoro I have this music in mind, and how popular it became that most of the people who visit us from other parts of Venezuela do not suck the head of the corocoro because they are afraid to stay living here (laughs) sounds funny, I tell you friends that one of the things we enjoy in our state is to eat fresh fish freshly caught since Sucre state is characterized by being a coastal area, so friends today I bring you an ideal meal for a lunch of our eastern region is fried fish accompanied by arepas and a good salad with avocado. I hope you enjoy it. Here is the step by step.
- For the preparation of this recipe the first thing we do is to fix the fish, as the corocoro has many scales we remove them with the help of a spoon, then with the knife we cut the fins, then we make a tear in the belly to remove the guts and finally we make two cuts in the belly, we wash it very well to remove all the blood and ready this fixed fish.
- Now to fry the fish first add the salt for the slits we have made and the head so that it is well seasoned. Now put a frying pan on the stove over high heat and when it is hot add the oil and when it is hot add the fish in the pan to fry it on both sides until it is golden brown.
- For the preparation of the salad the first thing we do is to soak the lettuce in water and vinegar for 20 minutes, then we place it on a tray, now we wash all the vegetables and cut into slices the tomato, onion, cucumber and avocado slices, grate a carrot and add it on top, at the end we add salt and oil to taste.
- Ready this delicious salad.
- For the preparation of the arepas the first thing we do is to put the water in a bowl and salt, then add the corn flour, knead until it is a smooth texture, then make a ball, flatten it to form a wheel, while we put a pan on the stove and when it is hot we pass a cloth with oil and when it is hot we put the arepas and let it cook on both sides until they are golden brown and these arepas are ready.
- This delicious lunch is ready.
