Crispy Red Snapper with Green Papaya Salad

Whole fried fish is a foodie highlight when travelling in Thailand. It’s served propped up with skewers and you pluck off the flesh and dip it in a tamarind or lime chilli dressing. For home cooking, this extravaganza isn’t so practical, but you can achieve the same deliciousness using fillets. A green papaya or carrot salad served alongside keeps textures lively and contrasts nicely with the hot, crisp fish.
