Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 500g) Milkfish (bangus), cleaned and butterflied
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional, low sodium)
- 1 cup Cooking oil
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, black pepper, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt substitute (if using).
Step 2
Place the cleaned and butterflied milkfish in the bowl, ensuring it's well-coated with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Step 3
After marinating, remove the fish from the fridge and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
Step 4
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge the fish on both sides with flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fish in the pan, skin side down. Be cautious to avoid splatters.
Step 7
Fry the fish for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the oil and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium crispy fried bangus hot, with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
