Sounds sensational Peril. I will be trying this one - just love Thai or anything like it.
Whole fish with ginger & shallots (Ho nan jum choa yue)
This one's from Charmaine Solomon.
1x750g fresh snapper or other whole white fish
2 tsp salt
2 tbls peanut oil
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
8 spring onions, finely chopped
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbls light soy sauce
Scale, clean and wash fish and trim spines and fins, leaving head and tail on. Put enough water into a wok or frying pan to cover the fish, bring to the boil with the salt. When boiling lower the fish into it, cover and return to the boil. Reduce heat and cook 5-7 min. remove from liquid and drain well.
Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a small saucepan and fry giner and spring onions very gently until soft but not brown. Remove from heat. Add sesame oil and soy sauce. Put fish on a serving dish. Spoon the sauce over and serve at once.
Did this this evening (bought fish
). It was sensational, particularly the sauce.

Well, you have definitely sold me.....
I tried the recipe out tonight (using a bream and a leatherjacket) and it was magic! A very simple recipe that is fast to cook. The sauce is flavoursome but does not overpower the fish.
Suggestion - select a premium soy sauce (I only had Masterfoods soy sauce and I could tell it wasn't Kikkoman) :?
Anyway, I took some pictures for others to get an idea of how it turns out.
