fried fish with chili basil sauce

My mom came back from a cooking class in Thailand a couple years ago and shared this recipe with me.
Have an abundance of fish from the weekend fishing in Sonoma, so I made some with a nice copper I had.
one of my favorite ways to cook small to medium sized whole fish

-fry whole cleaned/scaled fish till golden brown...all I put was some salt

-in a diff skillet, sauté garlic and onions, scallions in a little oil till translucent

-add cilantro, peppers, scallions,  and basil, three tbsp. soy sauce and 3 tbsp. fish sauce and a tbsp or more of palm sugar

-watch that it does not dry up and add a little water or stock if needed

-plate fish and pour sauce over it. garnish with basil and cilantro

enjoy like we did,
