Sweet and Sour Fish Balls

This is a recipe that means alot to me. It comes from my late grandfather. He lived for the outdoors, just like I do, and was always coming up with new recipes for fish. This recipe works really well with "fishy" tasting fish, such as Lake Trout. Even people who aren't big fish eaters will love this one.

Sauce:
1 cup bread and butter pickle juice
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
Cornstarch

Bring ingredients to a boil over medium heat
Thicken with cornstarch, only a little at a time, until desired thickness

Fish:
1 lb fish fillets, de-boned
Prepared Pan Cake batter, omitting oil
salt
vegetable or canola oil for cooking

Bring just enough oil in a deep frying pan to about 375 (when you drop water on it it should 'spit')
Cut fish into bite size pieces
Sprinkle with Salt
Dip fish into prepared pancake batter
Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes

Serve fish mixed with sauce over brown rice

Very tasty and similar to a dish available at most Chinese restaurants
