Ingredients
- 1 large Bangus (milkfish), cleaned and butterflied
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil for frying
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the bangus thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure it is well cleaned and free from any remaining scales.
Step 2
Season the bangus with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle with white vinegar and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Step 3
Prepare a breading station by setting up three shallow dishes: one with coconut flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with almond flour.
Step 4
Dip each piece of bangus into the coconut flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess.
Step 5
Next, dip the flour-coated bangus in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Finally, coat the bangus with almond flour, pressing gently to ensure the flour adheres to the fish.
Step 7
In a large frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 8
Carefully place the bangus in the hot oil, cooking for approximately 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Adjust the timing based on the thickness of the fish and personal preference for doneness.
Step 9
Remove the fish from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the keto crispy fried bangus hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side for drizzling before eating.
