PEANUT-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS WITH FRIED BANANAS
2 unripe bananas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
two 6- to 8-ounce skinless flounder or orange roughy fillets
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup finely chopped unsalted peanuts
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice plus lime wedges as an accompaniment
Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a large ovenproof skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat sauté the banana slices for 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer them with a spatula to a plate. Pat the fish dry and sprinkle it with the cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Have ready in separate shallow dishes the egg beaten with the salt and the peanuts. Dip each fillet in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge it in the peanuts. To the skillet add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, heat it over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, and in it sauté the fillets for 3 minutes. Turn the fillets, top them with the banana slices, and sauté them for 2 minutes more. Drizzle the fish with the lime juice, transfer the skillet to the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven, and bake the fish for 5 minutes. Transfer the fillets with a spatula to 2 heated plates and serve them with the lime wedges.
Serves 2.

There is a specific banana you fry it called plaintain, as contrasted with the soft, sweet banana varieties (which are sometimes called dessert bananas). Plantains tend to be firmer and lower in sugar content than dessert bananas and are commonly used when green or underripe and therefore starchy.
They can also be ground into flour, made into banana chippan, fried in plantain oil and sprinkled with salt to produce Maduros.
Recipes; Yo-Yo Chifles, Aloco, Alcapurria, tostones, Patacones and Dodo.
Just look for them in the produce section at the store and find those recipes. You will actually like them.

In Puerto Rico we fry bananas and plantains (banana's cousins). Two are sweet, the ripe banana and the ripe plantain. Both are peeled sliced slanted from end to end and fried and are called Guineos frito (fried bananas) and platanos maduros frito (fried ripe plantains). Then we have Tostones, fried green plantains which are wonderful nothing like them. The green plantain is peeled cut into round slices allowed to marinate in cold salted water for fifteen to thirty minutes prior to frying. The slices are fried once until they turn pale yellow and removed from the pan. Then they are pressed or squashed to desire thickness and dipped into a seasoned sauce of Sazon con Culantro y Achiote made by the Goya company and refry to a crisp. Remove from pan let drain and eat hot, You can also spread minced garlic over the hot tostones as an added treat , tostones go with any meal or great by themselves. Try them, You'll love them.

I've seen it once on tv
You just cut the bananas in long slices, fry them in normal cooking oil, then after they turn brown, remove and sprinkle with cinamon and sugar.
I don't really think it's tasty...

like apples, there are cooking bananas...be sure to fry only those.
it is quite simple to do, all u need to do is to dip bananas on brown sugar and fry it using oil, coconut oil taste better with it.
u can use barbecue stick to hold fried bananas
cinnamon and other ingredients can be use to improve flavor. but i like mine plain

There are banana fritters, where pieces of banana are covered with batter and fried. They are delicious, and dangerously addictive.
