Inihaw na Bangus (Grilled Milkfish)
The easiest way of cooking bangus is frying it. Marinating it in vinegar and Garlic is called Daing na Bngus, while Tinapa na Bangus is salted and smoked. Paksiw na Bangus is stewing it in vinegar.
Inihaw na Bangus is a popular dish, and is also served as a pulutan, an appetizer taken with alcoholic beverages. It is grilled with stuffing made of spices, and then wrapped in aluminum foil to aid in the cooking process. The fish is a little burnt on the outside but very juicy inside. This goes best with a dipping sauce made of calamansi juice (local lemon), vinegar, garlic, soy sauce and chilies.
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Cooking Time: 30-40 mins
Yield: 2-4 servings
Ingredients:
1 whole milkfish
2 pcs medium tomatoes, diced
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 thumb size ginger, chopped
2 pcs siling labuyo, chopped
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
Cooking Directions:
1. Prepare the stuffing by mixing the tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, siling labuyo, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set it aside. If you don’t want it too spicy, you can put the siling labuyo whole in the fish.
2. Remove the innards and gills of the fish but keep the scales on so that the skin won’t stick to the grill. Rub salt and pepper on the skin and set it aside.
3. Slit the side of the fish and stuff the cavity with the mixture. Put a little pressure to flatten it, and make sure the stuffing does not spill out.
4. Heat up the grill. Wrap the fish in aluminum foil.
5. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes on each side.
6. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
7. Enjoy!
