Basil Fish (Ikan Bersambal Daun Selasih)

 I bought our family's favourite Yellow Tail Snapper recently.... We love it deep fried until crispy on the outside but juicy in the inside. Some types of snappers are tough and dry when deep fried but this type is always turned out fabulous. My Basil grows very well in my backyard and time to trim it and hence created this dish. Thumbs up from my two boys & hubby. I personally like it too.
