That was one delicious fish. I used a fresh trout, couldn’t find a snapper. The stuffing was OK but would have been better with fresh mushrooms rather than tinned. 

The sweet sour sauce I made the same as the one for the duck (see our blog 28th March) but didn’t cook it for so long to keep the fresh colours. The sauce had ginger, onion, carrot, green capsicum, Golden Circle canned pineapple of course, pineapple juice, cider vinegar, chilli and tomato sauce. 

The stuffing was as the recipe. The fish was only one pound (500g thereabouts) so there is plenty of rice and sauce left over.  After stuffing the raw fish I cooked it in the oven for 15 minutes, Ann.
