Sweet and Sour Fish image

I really enjoy eating this dish but it just takes so long to make it. The only things I change is I left out the egg and used milk to dip the fish and I used vegetable oil as I couldn't find groundnut oil. I also use can pineapple so I can use the juice. This recipe comes from a book called 'The Asian Kitchen' (The best of Chinese and Far Eastern cooking) by Lilian Wu

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce next time.
