Fish curry with cherry tomatoes

I'm not good at making fish dish. Not as if i'm good at making other dishes, yeah...;) I like to eat fish but not of my own cooking as i can't seem to get rid of those fishy smell for my dish. When the dish is served hot, it wasn't  bad, but once the dish gets cool down, fishy smell returns.

From what i observed, my mother would usually squeez the lemon juice over the fish probably to get rid of a fishy smell. Well....that's just my own guess. Sometimes she would even add lemon zest.

I tried cooking fish before, but i don't think those were either presentable or tasty enough to post them on my blog. But this time, guess what......??? i made it. What do you think? Not bad hah....:))
