Frying whole fish is common in Asian culture. Fried whole fish not only has a great texture, it also has an amazing flavor. The outside is crispy but the flesh stays moist and tender. Most Asians also prefer whole fish than fillets as the meat attached to the bones is much tastier. In this recipe, the whole fried fish is simmered in an absolutely delicious ginger-based sauce. This makes the fish absorb the sweet, salty, sour and spicy flavors from the sauce. The sauce is then thickened and poured on the fish. This dish is perfect with hot steaming rice.
