Marinated Fried Milkfish with Tomatoes and Onions

Here’s another recipe for fish lovers out there and it’s a milkfish. The fish is cut open on sides and deboned, scales, guts and innards removed. It is then marinated on a generous amount of vinegar, crushed garlic, pepper and salt overnight. Then it is fried to golden brown.
Expect the oil splattering when you’re cooking the fish so be sure have a pan lid ready to protect yourself. If you hate the splatter, you can sprinkle or coat some flour on the fish before frying.

Ingredients:
1 large size milk fish, cleaned, sliced on one side and de-boned
1 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 tsp. salt
4 cloves garlic, crushed
cooking oil
2 tbsp flour

For garnish:
1 medium hard-boiled egg, chopped
1 medium red tomato, chopped
1 small onion, chopped

Procedures:
1. After the overnight marinating, remove the fish and coat with flour and fry until golden brown on both sides.
2. Transfer on a serving plate and garnish with tomato, onion and hard boiled egg.
3. Serve hot with plain or Java rice.
