The video is a cooking tutorial on how to make fish crackling, a popular Mexican dish. The host starts by preparing the fish, using tilapia, mahi-mahi, and shrimp, and marinating them in a mixture of lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and yellow mustard.
He then prepares two sauces to accompany the dish: a tartar sauce made with mayonnaise, onion, parsley, capers, and chili powder, and a spicy sauce made with chili peppers, garlic, salt, and lemon juice.
To cook the fish, the host uses a homemade wood stove and fries the marinated fish in batches, removing excess flour before adding them to the oil. He stresses the importance of not overcrowding the oil and cooking the fish until it's golden and crispy.
