Filipino Milk Fish

One of my favorite fish that Annie Lou prepares is fried Milk Fish imported from the Philippines. We pick it up from one of the three largest Asian markets in our area, the "Hong Kong Market", "Saigon-Taipei Grocery", or "Nguyen Loi Oriental Supermarket".



Milk Fish is the national fish of the Philippines, and once you have it you'll understand why. Its easy to cook, clean, and is absolutely delicious.

The one I like the best is when its already marinated with vinegar and deboned so you don't have to fight the bones while you're trying to enjoy it. She will take it out and fry it slowly, and in the end it is so delicious and tender. The grease also seems to disappear so its never soggy or simply greasy tasting.



I mix a small dish of Silver Swan soy sauce with vinegar, about a 4 to 1 mix, then put a little on my bed of rice and toss the fish on top.

That, along with a stir fry medley of fresh veggies is a delight at supper time.
