Whenever I entered a seafood restaurant with my family, the first thing that came to my mind was "Sweet and sour fish" as this is one of my family's favorite dishes. This dish is featured on almost every seafood restaurant menu throughout Malaysia and the price is depending on the type of fish used. "Sweet and Sour fish" is not really about the "recipe" or the "fish" that we used but it is also about "the sauce" and the main ingredient for the sauce is tomato sauce. I learned how to make this dish from my elder sister, Nelly Liban,  when I was still in junior secondary school and here's my version of "Sweet and Sour Barramundi fish with pineapple". I've made this dish a couple of times for my family and today, I'm very delighted to share the recipe with you and I hope you like it. You can use either Grouper, Tilapia or Black pomfret for this recipe. Happy cooking and  here are the ingredients;
