Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Other firm white-fleshed fish like halibut or mackerel also work well besides bollak.
  • Coating the fish with potato starch not only creates a crisp texture but also helps the fish absorb the thick, flavorful sauce evenly.
  • Add corn syrup gradually to adjust sweetness and achieve the desired shine and consistency in the sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to elevate their ordinary grilled fish into a rich, impressive dish.
  • Fans of fish dishes with a satisfying balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors, where the crisp exterior gives way to a tender, juicy interior.
