Step 1
Pat fish dry inside and out. Season generously with salt and pepper inside the cavity and all over the skin.
Step 2
Spread flour on a plate. Coat fish lightly on all sides, shaking off excess.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Carefully slide fish into the pan.
Step 4
Fry fish 5–6 minutes per side without moving until skin is golden and crispy, flesh flakes easily.
Step 5
While fish cooks, bake frozen fries per package and warm rice in a separate pot or microwave.
Step 6
Slice avocado and arrange on a plate with tomato slices. Transfer fish to a serving platter with rice and fries alongside.
