FRIED MACKEREL SLICES IN BBQ SAUCE

This BBQ sauce is suitable for any fried fish, chicken or meat. Adding some thinly sliced onions, carrots and cabbage is a good combination of proteins and fibre.

The sauce is savoury sweet and tasty spread over steaming hot rice. Simple yet delicious.

The original recipe uses whole Garoupa fish [about 800 gm] and deep frying it. I just pan fried the fish slices.

Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine No. 60 [slightly modified]
