A tasty sweet and sour fish fillet for those who like to eat fish without those tiny fish bones. There are many kinds of fish fillet you can use if you can’t find labahita (surgeon fish) or lapu-lapu (grouper). Substitutes can be cream dory fillet or tilapia fillet since those fishes have white and tasty flesh.

This dish is also very easy to cook. You only have to coat the fish fillet with eggs and bread crumbs before frying and just cooking the sauce with very few ingredients then combine them, the fish and the sauce, then serve hot. To make the sweet and sour sauce, in a saucepan, mix thoroughly the cornstarch and sugar in water. Add in onion, garlic, cucumber(optional), tomato(optional), pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, and margarine. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture starts to boil. Cook for about 2 minutes more until the sauce thickens then pour over fried fish fillets.

    Can’t wait to try this. Looks good. 🙂
    BUT the video is annoyingly slow. The slow-motion of the hand picking up ingredients and cutting fish…I just can’t.

      Hi Iya, sorry for that slow motion and hand picking of ingredients. This is an old video and the newer videos are already faster and I eliminated the one by one picking of ingredients.
