Preparing the Meal
The first focus will be on the fish fillet. It would be best if you sliced them into ½ in a crosshatch pattern. Then you seasoned both sides using salt and pepper(alligator). Toast cubeb peppers inside a small skillet that is dry over medium-low heat while occasionally shaking for about 3minutes until fragrant. Transfer it to a mortar and pestle. Allow it to cool, then you coarsely grind and set aside.
You chop the Cilantro leaves and stems. Place the remainder of the Cilantro leaves aside. After chopping your Papayas, transfer them to a blender and add oil, 1-2 tbsp of water if it is necessary. Add the chopped Cilantro and other ingredients such as garlic, ginger, ground chile, ¼ tsp. Salt then the reserved ground cubeb pepper.
The mixture should then be blended to a smooth paste. Coat the fillets on every part using marinade and rub sore marks. Place the fish, skin side down, as a single layer inside a baking dish that fits. Cover using a lid or alternatively a plastic wrap. Wait for about 2-12 hours.
Shift your focus to preparing the chips. Fill the bowl with water and peel the yams while slicing them. Cut each quarter to ½ thick slabs, and the length of each slab depends on the Yam size. Add the slices of Yam to the bowl and try to prevent oxidation.
After all, yams have already been cut; you can swish in water to remove excess starch. Refill the bowl and redo the process till the water becomes clear for about an extra 2minutes: sugar and ½ tsp. Salt should be added. The solution should be stirred until it dissolves.
Add the drained chips and proceed to soak for 30 minutes—Preheat the oven to 450°. Transfer the drained chips to a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle using 2tbsp.oil. Season it using black pepper, sprinkle with chili powder and 1tsp of salt. Toss to ensure it is coated and spread out in an even layer. Roast the chips while turning it halfway for 20minutes. They should be golden brown and crisp in nature.
The broiler should be heated, and the excess marinade from fish and place fillets removed. Turn the skin upon a different rimmed baking sheet. Broil till it becomes browned and crisp. This should take an estimated 5-7minutes.
Take a vegetable peeler and shave the reserved papaya into ribbons. Use the leaves from the reserved Cilantro stems and slice the reserved lemon to two wedges. At this point, the food is ready to be served, and you can transfer the fish to plates and add papaya and Cilantro on top. Mound the Yam chips closer to the fillets and serve with Shito and Lemon wedges along.
