Plate ‘em up

My charter captain thought I was nuts to keep this one when we were pulling in lots of big snapper but I had a plan. This is a recreation of a dish my wife loves from a Asian restaurant we like. It was really good but the braising sauce didn't thicken right after I removed the fish and added the cornstarch slurry the flavor was spot on just not the consistency. Not sure what I did wrong maybe more cornstarch maybe it needed to reduce more? Either way it was a nice in-house date night meal even got to watch fishing while eating.20250718_182040.jpg20250718_190129.jpg20250718_193118.jpg20250718_193830.jpg20250718_195018.jpg

Would mangrove snapper work for that?
 
I'd kill for a Applebee's date night! The new kid will be 2 weeks tomorrow I won't be getting her away for even a DQ shake without him for awhile.
Condoms are cheaper than elk tags ;) Just kidding dude. My youngest is turning 19 this year and I miss the anticipation of a baby. I've got 3 sons, the oldest being 27. But, now it's grandbabies for me lol
