Chinese Twice Cooked Whole Fish (Or Fillets) image

Ginger, garlic, and pungent seasonings are "seared" into cooked fish with hot oil. Traditionally, peanut oil is used but my husband found that the olive oil/butter combination is the most flavorful. He prefers using "bony fish" like largemouth bass or rockfish, but it also goes well with seabass fillets.
