For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the sweet and sour sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water) towards the end of the cooking process. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an added visual appeal. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Fish: Cut the halibut into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the fish with soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of flour. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Let it stand for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
02
StepHeat the Oil: In a deep-fryer or a heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control.
03
StepDeep-Fry the Fish: Carefully add the marinated halibut pieces to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain the oil temperature. (3-5 minutes)
04
StepDrain and Set Aside: Remove the fried fish and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
05
StepSauté Vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 1 minute until slightly softened. Add the pineapple chunks and continue to cook for another minute.
06
StepCreate the Sauce: Stir in the reserved pineapple juice, ketchup, sugar, water, 2 teaspoons of flour, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
07
StepSimmer and Thicken: Cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
08
StepCombine and Serve: Pour the luscious sweet and sour sauce over the crispy halibut pieces to serve. Alternatively, serve the halibut alongside the sauce for dipping, allowing your guests to customize their experience.
