Prepare and Marinate Pomelo Fish
Using the fillet part of the pomelo fish, cut it into small pieces about 5 – 7 cm, then gradually add 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to marinate the fish, allowing it to absorb the seasoning for 10 minutes.

Wash the basil leaves thoroughly, divide into 2 parts, cut 1 part into strips, and chop the remaining part. Wash the cucumber and tomato, then cut them into shapes as desired.

Make the dipping sauce
Mix 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of chili sauce and the chopped basil leaves to make the sauce.

Dip in batter and fry the fish
Place 500g of crispy frying flour on a plate. The remaining 500g of crispy frying flour goes into a bowl, mix with 70ml of water, and add the sliced basil leaves to mix well into the batter.
Coat the marinated fish in dry flour, then dip it in the wet batter, and finally place it in a frying pan with deep oil until the fish is golden, then remove it to drain on paper. Arrange the fried fish pieces with cucumber and tomato as you like.

How to prepare Fried Pomfret with Tomato Sauce
-
Prepare the pomfret
To remove the fishy smell, use a little salt mixed with water to soak the fish for about 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces.
-
Prepare the tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, then cut them into wedges.
-
Fry the fish
Put 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the pan along with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil; this helps prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
Then gradually add the cut fish pieces. When the fish is cooked, it will be more golden than usual, so don’t worry about it burning; once it’s cooked, remove it and place it on oil-absorbent paper.
-
Making tomato sauce
Pour about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan, then add 2 shallots, 2 cloves of minced garlic along with the tomatoes. Next, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 2/3 tablespoon of fish sauce, stirring well until the sauce thickens.
-
Final product
Pour the sauce evenly over the fish, add green onions for flavor and color. Now you have completed the crispy and delicious fried pomfret with tomato sauce, simple to serve the whole family!
How to choose fresh and delicious pomfret
- To choose fresh and delicious fish, you should select those that are whole and have firm flesh.
- Observe the eyes of the fish; if they are clear, shiny, and slightly bulging, then the fish is still fresh.
- The gills should also be bright red; if they turn dark red, then the fish is no longer fresh.
How to choose fresh and delicious tomatoes
- You should choose tomatoes with smooth, shiny skin, firm and juicy with bright red color, and green stems.
- Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have small black spots, or have uneven coloring with both green and red.
- Do not buy tomatoes that feel too soft or too hard when touched, or have juice running out, as they may be spoiled.
