SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE FISH

Sweet and sour fish is a very common dish served at home and at the restaurants.  Of course, there are various ways of preparing the sauce and various types of white meat fish are used.  I always prefer to cook with fish fillets as I am afraid of fish bones. 

This is a tasty dish and the sweetness of the sauce is acceptable to me.  Some sauce can be overly sweet and I feel the quality of chilli sauce and tomato sauce does contribute to the overall taste of the sauce.

Anyway, I happy with the taste and it is great with the addition of capsicum, zucchini, tomatoes and onions.

This recipe is adapted from Amy Beh’s recipes on Sweet and Sour Sauce Fish.
