Golden Fried Grouper, with Chopped Salted Chillies
฿1,750
Whole grouper goes into hot oil and comes out with a shell of skin that shatters under a fork.
Grouper, skin left on, fried until burnished gold.
Salted chillies, chopped coarse, still bright.
Garlic, sliced thin and fried to a whisper.
The fish is fried hard and fast so the skin crisps before the flesh can dry, then scattered with the chopped salted chillies and garlic while it's still spitting. It's a Cantonese way with a whole fish — nothing hidden, nothing sauced over, just salt, heat and the crackle of that skin. Eat it with your hands if you like, working from the top down.
