How to Cook Fried Giant Fish with Fish Sauce
-
Prepare Ingredients
Buy the fish, clean the fins, gills, and tail, then wash thoroughly, dilute about 1/2 spoon of coarse salt in water, and soak the fish for about 3 – 5 minutes.
Remove and drain, then use a knife to make a few cuts on the fish’s back.
Tip: To help the fish cook evenly and absorb the seasoning faster, make 2 – 3 cuts on the fish’s back.
Marinate the giant fish with 1/2 teaspoon of coarse salt.
Chili, onion, and garlic should be crushed and mixed into 2 tablespoons of fish sauce with 1 tablespoon of sugar, stirring until dissolved.

Fried fish
Put a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and heat the oil. Add the fish and fry until golden brown on both sides over high heat.
Then reduce the heat, add the fish sauce that has been crushed earlier. Flip the fish back and forth to let it absorb the fish sauce evenly.
After about 2 minutes, the fish sauce will be evenly absorbed into the fish and thickened, and it’s done.
