Sweet and Sour Maya Maya
Sweet and Sour Maya Maya. Sweet and sour fish or escabeche is a special dish serve on special occasions. There are countless variations of this dish, from the Spanish adaptation of escabeche to the popular Chinese sweet and sour.

I would like to share my easy to prepare version. Sweet and sour fish is best serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the fried fish. For more appealing presentation it is recommended that the fish should be fried as whole. But you can always cut or slice the fish for easier frying if a big frying pan or an oval shaped frying pan which I used on this recipe is not available. What ever frying method used the fish must be fried until crispy.
