Fried Fish

Last night I fried Pomfret and Red Snapper that I had purchased at Fresh Seafood Market, a new Asian-owned business in Asheville. They clean the fish the old-fashioned way, right after you make your purchase. The shrimp are exceptionally good as well. Of course, besides fresh seafood, you can make typical purchases that you make at any Asian grocer: noodles, fresh vegetables, soy sauce, etc. The prices on everything seem to be good, and the place is clean and spacious.

Anyway, back at the house, I fried these two fish the way it's done in Thailand: heads on, cuts in the sides, salt and pepper. I also prepared a vegetable stir-fry, using fresh mushrooms, snow peas (purchased at the Asian market), freshly-minced garlic and baby corn (canned). A bit of oyster sauce and Golden Seasoning Sauce added a nice touch. My husband made a fresh garden salad.
