White rice with sweet and sour scorpionfish

Yeah babe, that was lunch today.  I found some scorpionfish (or was it grouper?) at the night market Monday.  The fish was a bit too big to get a perfect crispy fry, but a couple turned out perfect.  When a crispy fried fish is perfect, you eat the whole thing, head and tail and all.  But I couldn't bite through the spine of a couple of fish, they were simply too big.  The sauce was onion and ketchup based, but a bit too sour for my stomach but not for my mouth.  I'm very sensitive to sour, that's why my sushi rice has no vinegar in it.  Dinner was pizza.  I didn't take a photo of that.

Hm.  I'm missing a fish.  I had 8 guppies, now I only have 7.  Maybe it jumped out, and I can't find the body.  My fish don't jump out, though.

I know you're feeling emotional, Piene.  Join the gang, honey.  I don't recall ever going to Borough Market when I was a tiny kid.  I had other things on my mind.
