SWEET & SOUR FISH - WHOLE
This sweet and sour dish is very tasty and by flattening the stomach of the fish a little it allows the fish to be put in an upright, swimming position on the serving platter. The sauce and vegetable mixture is then poured over the fish for an outstanding presentation of the fish.

Steps:
- Clean and scale fish. Make 3 diagonal cuts on each side of fish.

- Heat oil to 330°F and deep fry fish until crisp and golden brown (about 15 minutes), basting often with hot oil.

- Heat 4 Tbsp of oil in frying pan: stir-fry all vegetable ingredients until tender. Note: Any of sauce vegetables may be omitted.
- Pour in sauce mixture and bring to a boil.
