Yes, two cups of oil. Supposed to be oily, not the oil for frying.

Sorry…one more question…the 2 cups of oil are for the marinade right ? Oil, water, vinegar, sugar etc. Those 2 cups of oil aren’t for deep frying the fish ? Just checking….don’t want to make a really oily marinade if there’s not supposed to be oil in it ! Ta.

Hi…looks great ! Couple of questions….left to pickle overnight in the fridge or at room temp ? I guess this dish is served at room temperature and not re-heated ? Thanks !

Would Chinese black vinegar be ok?

I also have not heard of Acar fish, but my family does eat red snapper. The chillies are actually pickled? Is there still some bite? I love sour dishes, but spicy ones as well.

Also, I completely understand your desire to learn the family recipes. I am the youngest and only girl in the family, so the responsibility of learning to cook our family’s recipes falls to me.
