Instructions
- Season fish with marinade (A) and leave aside for 10 minutes.

- Heat enough oil in a wok until hot and deep-fry marinated fish until golden brown and crispy. Drain from oil.
- Return the coarse sandy milk crisps to the wok, add chopped bird's eye chillies and shredded screwpine leaf. Fry briskly until aromatic. Put back the fish pieces and add seasoning (C) to mix. Give a quick brief toss to combine the ingredients well. Dish out and serve.
