Black Pomfret is one of the frozen fishes that somehow is just as good as one which has just come out of the water. I had to show my guests around, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we forgot about the time. We were running very late for dinner, luckily the fish was taken out to thaw in the morning before we left home. So, cooking this dish was no effort as the assam spices was a premixed and pineapple was from the can. Only the tomatoes needed to be halves. Thank goodness for premixed spices and a well stocked pantry.

That's why I love my premixed too, life saver! So, you have guests at your house now?
I miss black pomfret. My mum used to fry it with kunyit powder back home. Unfortunately, cannot get this type of fish in Sydney. Yours looks yummy esp. with a bowl of steamed rice.
this certainly looks tasty and easy to do...i'll try it this weekend
Charming,
Try the fish shop near Tai Kee Supermarket in Haymarket.
