Hi all! I just made this popular local dish and it was such a success I thought you would like to try it. It is very easy and very good! I halved the sauce recipe and it was still a lot. So, depending upon how many people you want to serve, you can do so too.

Fried Fish With Puerto Rican Sauce (Mojo Isle?)

Prepare the sauce by mixing the following ingredients and cooking over moderate to low heat for about 1 hour:

1/2 cup olive oil
2 1/2 pounds onions, peeled and sliced thick (1/4" slices)
1 1/2 cups water
24 olives
2 tablespoons capers
1 4-oz. can pimientos, cut in tiny clices in their juice
2 8-oz. cans tomato sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
2 bay leaves

4 pounds fish (sliced kingfish, grouper steaks or fillet, red snapper - whole or fillet - shrimp or lobster sauteed in butter may also be used for a special dish)

When the sauce is nearly done, season fish with salt, pepper and garlic powder and fry in pan with a bit of olive oil, butter and vegetable oil (I like to use a bit of each for flavor). Fry each side at moderate heat for 7 minutes or until done. Cover with sauce and serve.

This is typically served with Tostones (fried plantains - check your frozen food section). It is also good over white rice with a simple side salad.
Enjoy! Cathy in Puerto Rico
