How to clean dory fish effectively, without a fishy smell
- After buying the dory fish, wash it with a mixture of salt and lemon, rubbing the entire piece of fish to help remove grease, dirt, and effectively eliminate the fishy smell.

Make the passion fruit sauce
Heat a pan on the stove and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, when the oil is hot, add 1.5 tablespoons of minced shallots, stir until the shallots are fragrant and golden, then add 2/3 cup of passion fruit juice and 1/2 cup of water.
Season with 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, mix well and add a little cornstarch water. Stir well over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, then turn off the heat.
Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle a little chopped chili on top to finish.

Frying Fish
Take 2 tablespoons of crispy flour into the bowl of marinated fish, mix well so that the flour coats evenly on each piece of fish. The remaining flour is mixed evenly with about 130ml of water, stir until the flour dissolves.
Dip the fish in a layer of crispy flour and drop it into a hot oil pan to fry on low heat until golden brown on both sides.
Tip:
- You should wait for the oil to really heat up before adding the fish to fry on low heat.
- Only turn the fish when you see the surface slightly firm, avoid turning the fish immediately after dropping it into the pan as it may cause the outer layer of flour to peel off.
- When the fish is golden brown, turn up the heat and quickly remove all the fish, this helps the fish absorb less oil and be crispier.
-
Final Product
The fried snakehead fish is evenly golden, wrapped in a crispy batter, with sweet and tender fish inside mixed with a hint of sourness from passion fruit. When eaten with passion fruit sauce, it creates a wonderful flavor.
