Fried fish in a sweet and spicy Oriental sauce

This is surely an appetizing fish recipe yet so simple to prepare. This sauce gives life to a rather plain fried fish, with it’s spiciness it is guaranteed you’ll be scooping rice into your plate.

You can use any fish variety, whole or fillet. After cleaning the fish I prefer marinating it in vinegar to remove it’s fishy smell.
