Braised Fish with Radish

…. It’s been a long time since I bought Spanish Mackerel from a market. When my daughter LACEY was a baby, she used to eat grilled Spanish Mackerel with butter instead of a full meal until 5 years old. She is still crazy about fish dish. I am cooking braised Spanish Mackerel with spicy sauce and radish today. It needs to be served steamed rice. I love not only the Spanish Mackerel but also the cooked radish. The texture of the cooked radish is soft, juicy, and a little sweet and salty. But so many other types of fish can be good for it too.
