CANH CHUA CA - HOT SOUR FISH SOUP W/ PINEAPPLE
Another recipe from the In-Laws. This is a wonderful soup that is a common meal for my mother-in-law to make. It is so delicious I just had to have the recipe! My mother-in-law used catfish fillets, skin and all, I prefer to use the pre-diced chunks. Galangal is also known as Siamese Ginger. It can be found fresh, frozen, or dried at asian markets.
