Fabulous Friday Flavour: Turmeric Fish in Oyster Sauce
Category: Fabulous Friday Flavours
Fish marinated in turmeric and then fried is a match made in heaven.
Actually, pretty much almost anything marinated in turmeric would taste pretty good. And, as long as you don’t use too much of it, you and your food would be good to go.
With some cut vegetables added to it, you ‘ll have yourself a nice, healthy one pot meal for the family to enjoy. This goes down well with kids, so don’t be afraid to get them to try it.

I haven’t had fish seasoned with turmeric before. I love it with potatoes, especially in samosas. I like reading your recipes and learning new uses for the spices. This will be definitely tried in my house. Along with the ‘long beans’. Are those equivalent to green beans? Do you also have short beans? You can smack me if you want, haha. Mwah!
You haven’t? You absolutely have to try! Do it with chicken too. It also must be Asian thing. I’m a novice at this still and you have been cooking far longer than I did but you make me so happy when you say you like reading my recipe, Jas. Yippeeee! hehehe
hmmm…how would you define green beans? anything that’s green? LOL. Actually they do come in long and short! Google Long beans and short beans” for image and you know what I mean. Taste wise, I really cannot differentiate the two, but they make good veggies. Although then to be “squeaky” if you undercook them. I hate it when it happens. EEks.
Got it! They really do exist…the long beans, lol. I should keep my mouth shut. At least I’d appear smarter, ha!
Hahahha..yes they do! Although I don’t think the long ones taste that much different from the short ones. And when you slice them to smaller pieces (which I tend to do), long or short doesn’t even matter. LOL. No no…you should never ever keep your mouth shut, Jas! That has got nothing to do with smart; I just think these are more of Asian thing. Plus, realistically, I don’t think you’d survive long to keep your mouth shut for too long. :p *muaaacks*
