I think the problem with this resipe is in the term "chili sauce." If you make it with the cousin of cocktail sauce as people have been I imagine it would be terrible. However if you use more of a chili PASTE or a SAUCE MADE ONLY OF CHILIS you get a very different result spicy and delicious. I used a Vietnamese chili and garlic paste/sauce and it was excellent. NOTE: DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF CHILI PASTE IF YOU WANT TO EAT IT!! A couple of tablespoons is plenty even for us fire-mouthed southerners. Read More

This was delicious! I tried it on a fluke because I had fish that I needed to use and I am so glad that I did! This is a regular favorite at my house now. You could use less rice and don t be surprised if you need to bake it longer. Also I don't usually keep chili sauce on hand so I made my own with tomato puree chili powder cumin and a small amount of vegetable oil. Add Creole seasoning for extra flavor! Enjoy! Read More

I liked this recipe but I changed it a lot. I'll give you the details because my photo is currently the one up there. I didnt have hot pepper sauce or chili sauce so at that point in the recipe I added 1/4 cup tomato paste and about 4 tablespoon creole seasoning. I also used Whiting filets instead of cod and broiled the fish instead of baking combining all three parts at the end. This is how I would make it again. Read More

well...I never had chili sauce before and I didn't know it was so much like cocktail sauce which I can't stand. My boyfriend (who does like chili and cocktail sauces) didn't like this too much either. the sauce is really overpowering. Read More

This went over well with my family for different reasons......my son enjoyed the rice my husband liked the fish I liked both the fish and the rice! I used swai and I also used homemade chili sauce. I added tons of creole seasonings - Slap Yo Mama Emerils Old Bay and extra Frank's hot sauce to make it nice and spicy. I think this would make a great rice sidedish too by leaving out the fish. We liked it well enough that I'll save the recipe and make it again. Read More

Hmmm it looks like chili sauce is a controversial ingredient. I happen to like it and I used the plain old store brand not an exotic import. This was the first time I'd ever cooked fresh fish of any kind I think let alone cod and I think it was a pretty tasty dish. I liked the sauce and light vegetables too. Two minor personal quibbles: I thought there was a little too much rice in proportion to the rest of the dish so maybe I'll try it with 2 cups instead of 3 next time. And I still don't like tomato slices much but I did eat the whole thing. Read More
