Chef's Notes
Always use fresh, firm-fleshed fish. Delicate fish will disintegrate into a sad fish soup the moment it touches the hot oil.
Pro Tip
Score the thickest parts of the fish with a sharp knife to let the marinade penetrate deep into the flesh for maximum flavor.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping a wet fish fillet into boiling hot coconut oil from a height of two feet, resulting in a kitchen explosion of hot oil and third-degree panic.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the fish blush? Because it saw the chili paste coming and realized it was about to get hot!
The Culinary Science
The acid in the lemon juice and tamarind slightly denatures the fish proteins before cooking, making the flesh firmer and better able to hold the spice crust.

Delicate Protein Preservation
Storage Science
Cool quickly and refrigerate in an airtight container immediately. Seafood degrades rapidly; consume within 24 to 48 hours maximum.
Reheating Science
DO NOT microwave on high. Seafood proteins tighten and become rubbery when rapidly heated. Reheat gently in a covered pan over low heat with a splash of water or stock to create gentle steam, preserving moisture.
