SWEET & SOUR FISH - WHOLE



Sweet & Sour Fish - whole image

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.
