Crispy fish with pickled pepper

Overview

Pickled pepper crispy fish is a common Sichuan dish. This dish is indispensable on festive occasions such as New Years and festivals, weddings and promotions. The pickled pepper crispy fish is very simple to make. It tastes spicy, sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat is delicious and has no fishy smell. It is very appetizing. Adults and children basically like to eat it. Grass carp is the first choice for making sweet and sour fish, but tilapia, mandarin fish, etc. can also be used. The size of the fish is best around 1,000 grams. The meat of fish of this size is the most tender and delicious. The fish I bought this time was intended to be made into pickled fish. I just ran out of pickled vegetables at home, so I made this crispy fish instead. It tasted good, but the fish was a bit big and it took a lot of effort to fry.
