Pritong Bangus, or fried milkfish, is a popular dish in Filipino cuisine, celebrated for its savory taste and crunchy texture. The dish features bangus, the national fish of the Philippines, marinated in a blend of vinegar, garlic, pepper, and spices before being deep-fried to golden perfection. This preparation highlights the distinct flavor of the fish while adding a delightful crispness. Bangus is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. However, the frying process can increase the dish's fat content, particularly if excessive oil is used. Pairing Pritong Bangus with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can enhance its nutritional balance. While flavorful and satisfying, moderation is key to enjoying this dish as part of a healthy diet. Its simplicity and combination of textures make it an iconic comfort food in Filipino households.
