Equipment
1 Frying Pan
1 air-fryer, option for frying
Ingredients
- 1 pound large boneless bangus (boneless milkfish)
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup white or distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black peppercorn
- ½ cup cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow container. Add milkfish making sure it is fully submerged in the marinade.
- Marinate the fish for 1 hour up to overnight. The longer, the more time for the fish to absorb the flavors from the marinade.
- When ready to fry, discard the marinade. Wipe down any stray aromatics.
- Pan-Frying. Preheat enough cooking in high heat until it reaches about 375F. Turn the heat to medium heat, and fry the marinated fish skin down first. You wanted to achieve crisp and golden brown on the edges, then flip to fry the other side until nice and golden brown.
- Air-frying. Brush the fish or spray it with cooking oil. Transfer it to a frying basket and air-fry at 375F for about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the fish. Check it after 10 minutes period. It should be light to a golden brown with crisp edges.
Notes
Recipe Notes:
- To achieve crispy and golden brown fried daing na bangus, be sure to preheat the cooking oil until it is warm enough to start frying. It will also absorb less oil.
- Liquid and cooking oil don’t go well together and it will cause splatter. Use a frying lid cover to avoid oil splashes.
- To store leftovers, cool them completely and transfer them into a glass container with a lid. It will stay good in the refrigerator for 5 days.
