Fried Bangus (Fried Milkfish)

Fried Bangus (Fried Milkfish)

⏱ Prep: 720 min ⏱ Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1 large arge boneless bangus (milkfish; scales removed, cleaned and butterflied)
  • 1.5 cup white vinegar
  • 4 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1.5 tsp whole peppercorn
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup oil

Instructions

  1. Combine vinegar, garlic, whole peppercorn, and salt in a bowl. Stir.

  2. In a deep wide plate, pour-in the mixture and then lay down the fish in a manner that the sliced part is facing down (skin should face up). Cover and place in the fridge. Marinate for 8 to 12 hours.

  3. Heat the cooking oil in a pan. Fry both sides of the bangus in medium heat until the color turns medium brown (note: it should take around 5 minutes per side). Note: the oil has a tendency to splatter because of the liquid from the marinade. Make sure to cover the pan while leaving open a small space for the steam to escape.

  4. Serve with spiced vinegar (sinamak).

  5. Share and enjoy!
