Breaded Fish with Pineapple Chili Sauce

A different style of breaded fish and the sauce as I used to make. On February 18th 2007, I posted Angsio Kakap Merah (literally translate: breaded red snapper with sweet sour sauce) . Two days ago I still had pollack fillets in my freezer, I decided to make breaded fish with a different style of sauce.
