Marinating fish
When I fry fish it's not spicy or crispy. I marinate it with fish masala, lemon juice, and garlic paste for 2 to 3 hours. How long should I marinate to get a crispy and spicy final product?
Best Answer
Coat the fish and fry at high temperature
I'm making some guesses about your brief question, but I don't think the length of time the fish is marinated is going to make it crispy unless moisture is extracted in the process. What I would recommend is, after marinating the fish as you have, dust it with flour that has the ground spices you like mixed in. If you are frying in oil, get the oil hot before adding the fish and this will help take moisture out of the outer layer making it crispy.

How long can you marinate a fish?
As fish is more delicate than chicken or beef, avoid leaving strong citrus-based marinades on fish for more than 10 to 15 minutes or you will end up with ceviche. The acid in ingredients such as lemons or limes will \u201ccook\u201d the fish if given the time. Season the fish with salt and pepper just before adding the marinade.Does marinating fish do anything?
It is great idea to marinate fish and shellfish before throwing it on the grill or using another high-temperature cooking method. A good marinade not only adds flavor, it also keeps the meat tender. The extra moisture in the marinade prevents seafood from quickly drying out.How long marinate fish overnight?
So it's not that fish can't benefit from a marinade, just that you can't throw together a conventional marinade and leave the fish to sit in it overnight. With that kind of marinade, 30 to 60 minutes is more than enough, depending on whether your pieces of fish are thick or thin.What can I marinate fish in overnight?
In theory, you could marinate the fish overnight in lemon juice or any other citric acid. To prevent overcooking and a dry result, I recommend a 5-minute maximum time for a thinly sliced piece of fish. If you're going to marinate it further than that, be sure to add oil as well as spices.More answers regarding marinating fish

The marinade alone isn’t going to make the fish anymore crispy. If you want the fish crispy you will have to crust it or a batter it etc. try a tempura batter maybe? 1/2 cup ap flour 1/2 cup corn starch SUPER cold club soda with a couple ice cubes even *mix ingredients to make a very coating batter
