Ingredients

  • 1 (3 1/2) pound whole mackerel, gutted and cleaned
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind soup base
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine the mackerel, water, tamarind soup base, and fish sauce in a pot over medium heat. Cover and cook at a simmer for about 15 minutes. Flip the fish, cover again, and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit, covered, for 1 hour.
  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the fish from the pot and pat dry with paper towels to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
  3. Fry the fish in the hot oil until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
