Crispy Catfish And Green Mango Salad (Yum Pla Dook Foo)

• Catfish:
• 1 whole catfish
• oil for deep frying
• Salad:
• 1 cup matchstick-cut green mango pieces
• 1/2 cup shallots, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup peanuts
• 4 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice, or more to taste
• 3 Thai chiles, finely chopped, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon white sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place catfish on a baking sheet.
2. Roast in the preheated oven until flesh is opaque, 10 to 15 minutes. Flake into large pieces with a fork. Lay the flaked fish out on a plate to dry.
3. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry fish in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Try not to break up the fish too much in the pan.
4. Toss mango, shallots, cilantro, green onions, peanuts, fish sauce, lime juice, Thai chiles, and sugar together in a large bowl. Toss in crispy catfish at the very last minute. Check the seasoning; the salad should taste sour, hot, and salty, with a slight sweetness at the end.
