Braised Perch in Beer

This Crispy Beer-Braised Sea Bass is a showstopper dish that combines tender, golden-fried fish with a rich, aromatic sauce. The sea bass is expertly marinated with ginger, scallions, and salt to enhance its natural sweetness, then pan-fried to crispy perfection. A fragrant stir-fry of garlic, ginger, and scallions builds the base of the savory sauce, deepened with soy sauce, a splash of beer, and a touch of sugar for balance. The fish simmers in this flavorful broth until infused with umami richness, then finished with a glossy, reduced glaze. Garnished with fresh cilantro and bell peppers, this dish delivers crispy skin, succulent flesh, and a bold, savory-sweet sauce that’s unforgettable. Perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a restaurant-quality meal at home!
