Greek White Seabass honey

I have a version of this bar recipe in one of my books on Greek cuisine, with shrimp instead of bass. I have tried using white bars of California and was spectacular! The glaze is sweet, salty and slightly herbal ouzo. Let yourself be by the use of Asian fish sauce fear - it's a bit like the ancient Roman fish sauce, which was the precursor to the Worcestershire sauce. If you have not, white sea bass, shrimp or other fish such as halibut company, sturgeon, shark, swordfish, tilefish, or - if you find - Bar New Zealand or Chilean swordfish.

Sprinkle the fish with seasoned flour shake and fry in oil. Leave at least 2 of the 4 sides of the fish cubes, fry until golden brown. You can also just "kiss" the other edges of the heat partisanship with the golden scissors and presses the sides thought the hot oil for a few seconds.

You have to get the fish to cook in batches, if your base is too small. Set aside the fish finish that you do the rest. Add more olive oil if booked you need.
