Crispy Golden Fish with Tangy Tomato-Peanut Sauce. This stunning dish features a whole fish expertly prepared for maximum crispiness, coated in a light egg white and starch batter, then fried to golden perfection. The secret lies in the technique—hot oil poured over the fish sets its shape, ensuring an irresistibly crunchy exterior while keeping the meat tender. Topped with a vibrant sauce of juicy tomatoes, aromatic garlic, sweet peas, and crunchy peanuts, every bite delivers a harmony of tangy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. A touch of white vinegar and chicken powder elevates the sauce, making it the perfect complement to the crispy fish. Ideal for impressing guests or enjoying a restaurant-quality meal at home, this recipe balances texture and taste in every delicious bite!
