Marinated Milkfish is a one way of preparing this tasty, versatile but bony fish. You can bake, fry, grill this marinated milkfish. For this recipe I marinated the fish for 30 minutes but you can marinated this up to 1 hour, this recipe contains vinegar and I don’t want to over marinate this lovely fish. I asked the fishmonger to clean and cut the fish , butterfly cut. Lucky that our fishmonger can clean this as part of their service, yay ! At home, I still wash the fish. Hope that you will this enjoy !
