Colonel: A traditional treatment for fish that  simply contrasts sweet,
hot, and sour flavour elements.  Again this is traditionally cooked in
a large deep wok, though unlike  pla jian it is cooked at very high
heat.  Therefore, I caution you to  use a large skillet or an electric
deep frier (though I have yet to  see one of them that gets the oil hot
enough for the full effect of  this recipe).  First the simple part;
deep fry about a pound of mackerel or whiting,  preferably with the
heads on, in smoking hot peanut oil until the  skin is crisp. Place it
on a serving platter.  Sauce: In a small saucepan, saute the garlic and
shallots in a little  oil, then remove and set aside.  Pour off the
oil, leaving only a  thin film on the pan. Return half the shallots and
garlic to the pan,  and add the other ingredients.  Stir to dissolve
the sugar and then  simmer to thicken the sauce. Add the remaining
shallots and garlic,  stir until heated through, then pour it over the
grilled fish.  Colonel Ian F. Khuntilanont-Philpott Systems
