What type of fish is suitable for curry?

White fish fillets, such as basa or pink ling, are suitable for fish curry.

What type of curry paste should I use for fish curry?

This recipe calls for a mild curry paste, so a Thai yellow curry paste would work well. However, if you already have some curry paste in the fridge or pantry that you'd like to use, this recipe is quite versatile, so feel free to try it. Just be aware that it might turn out spicy!
