Good day or evening, everyone!!
I hope you are all doing well…❣
I'd love to share one of my favorite seafood dishes with you, the sweet and sour fish. It can be a whole fish or a fish fillet. I love the two versions of this dish. I'd also love to share both versions of sweet and sour fish here.
But for now, let's have the whole fish version of my own style. I used "Parrotfish" or Molmol in Visayan. So without further ado, let's take a look at how I prepare and cook this dish.

Wash and peel the carrots, and cut them into your desired shapes.
Peel and wash onions, and then cut them into small pieces.
Peel the garlic and slice it thinly.
Wash and remove the seeds from the bell pepper, then cut it into strips.

In a larger pan, heat some canola oil and then fry the fish until they are all finished. Then, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
Heat a little canola oil in a pan and then sauté onions, ginger and garlic until aromatic.

Then add vinegar, tomato sauce and pineapple juice. Stir and mix them well. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Then season with soy sauce, and a little of the Magic Sarap seasoning.
Then add sugar to balance the flavor. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Then add half of the sliced carrots and cook for another 2 minutes.
Then, gradually add the fish until the sauce coats them equally.

Then, add the remaining carrots and the bell pepper. Mix them well, and then add the fried squid roll, and finally add the pineapple slices.

Turn off the heat, and it's done. Ready to serve while still hot. It was so yummy!! 😋 My husband and I enjoyed eating it a lot, but sadly, my daughter can't eat it. So, she just had her ground pork stir-fry with veggies.
That would be all for now, and I hope you like it. I promise to share the fish fillet sweet and sour version in the future.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and God bless… 😊🙏❤
