Crispy battered fish tossed in a spicy Indo-Chinese chilli sauce with peppers and onions. Royal Bistro's Chilli Fish is a bold, flavour-packed favourite that perfectly captures the beloved fusion of Indian and Chinese culinary traditions. Each piece of fish is coated in a light, golden batter and wok-tossed in a tangy, fiery sauce loaded with bell peppers, onions, and green chillies — a must-try appetizer at Duncan's premier Indian restaurant.
At Royal Bistro, our Chilli Fish celebrates the vibrant Indo-Chinese fusion cuisine that has captured hearts across the subcontinent and beyond. Fresh fish pieces are coated in a seasoned batter and fried to a perfect golden crispiness before being tossed in our signature chilli sauce.
This beloved Indo-Chinese dish brings together the boldness of Indian spices with the wok-fired intensity of Chinese cooking techniques. The result is a dish that's tangy, spicy, and irresistibly crunchy — a standout on our menu and a firm favourite with customers in Duncan and the Cowichan Valley.
What makes our Chilli Fish exceptional is the balance of textures and heat. The crispy batter holds up beautifully against the bold, glossy chilli sauce, while colourful bell peppers, onions, and fresh green chillies add layers of flavour and crunch. Each serving is made to order, ensuring maximum crispiness and a sauce that coats every piece generously.
