I recently made a fish dish cooked almost similar way too!
your garlic fried rice reminded me of how Japanese fry the rice during Teppanyaki

I’ve forgotten how they do it for Teppanyaki. Long time never go already. But I love this simple fried rice. Very fragrant.

Great dish. How do you know to name this fish Tilapia? Tilapia is a Spanish fish right? Curious liow.

Thanks, Judy! Actually Tilapia is easily available here. It's one of the cheaper fishes around. If I'm not mistaken, the ones that I get from Costco are farm-raised in US. Not wild ones. The wild ones are usually from South America.

This looks wonderful. I always wonder what to do with all that oil after deep frying fish. Any ideas?
And btw, you’re tagged.

Usually if the oil smells ok, I will filter & keep it for 1 more deep-frying, usually within the next 2 days. After that I usually just throw it away. I used to have a deep fryer & it was heartbreaking to throw away so much oil. So now I just use a pot & just enough oil to cover the food to deep fry. I know some people would keep it for cooking but I read somewhere that it’s not good to reuse the oil. ok, thanks for the tag. Will check it out.
