Pound Mahi−mahi; (dolphinfish) fillets, cut into 2 by 3−inch pieces  
Cup Flour  
Eggs; beaten  
−1/2 Cup Macadamia nuts; minced  
−1/2 Cup Panko bread crumbs  
Vegetable oil for deep frying  
In a saucepan, combine the pineapple, papaya, gooseberries and 1 cup of  
sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring every 5 minutes to avoid  
scorching, for 1 hour or until mixture reaches jam consistency. Cool. Divide  
papaya mixture into 3 bowls. Fold in fresh mint to one bowl, horseradish to  
another and chili sauce to the third. Set aside.  
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce,  
sherry, remaining teaspoon of sugar and cornstarch. Mix well. Season with  
salt and pepper. In a large mixing bowl, marinate the mahi−mahi "fingers" in  
the marinade for 10 minutes. Drain. Season the flour with salt and pepper.  
Dip the fish pieces in the seasoned flour and then the egg. In a mixing bowl  
combine the panko bread crumbs and the macadamia nuts. Mix well. Dip the  
fish in the macadamia nut mixture. Coat well.  
In a wok or deep, heavy kettle, heat 2 1/4 to 3 inches of oil on medium−high  
heat until it registers 365 degrees F on a deep fry thermometer. Fry fish  
fingers a few at a time until golden. Drain briefly on paper towels and  
serve with the tropical marmalade.
