Fish fillet in sweet and sour sauce made a good evolution since then. Different twists and versions came up depending on one’s taste.
This recipe is not that complicated to prepare. It wouldn’t take much of your time too. It’s a matter of deep frying and mixing the sauce. If you want to serve it crunchy, serve it hot.

Note from Delish:
This is one of the most popular dish in the Philippines. The combination of fish and its sweet and sour sauce is mouthwatering.
On this recipe, I bought the pre-cleaned, de-boned and nicely cut fish so it would save me some time. I just cut them into service pieces for easy and fast cooking.
Using cold water to dissolve flour and cornstarch is a great way to achieve that crispy fried fillet. Traditionally, you have to combine the sauce and the fillets in a pan, but I don’t want to do that since I want to maintain the crunch.
