Spicy Daing na Bangus

Spicy Daing na Bangus is perfect to eat for breakfast. I usually have it with sinangag na kanin and a spicy vinegar dip. A piece of sunny-side-up fried egg is nice to have with the meal.

It is easy to source fresh milkfish from fishmongers almost anywhere in the Philippines. The good lady from the public market near my place cleans and butterflies the fish for me. She can also debone it upon request, which I always take advantage of because it saves me time. Deboned and butterflied milkfish is also available here in the Midwest, but it is mostly frozen. I have no issues though because I can still make spicy daing na bangus out of it.

There are two major steps in making this dish: first is to marinate the fish in seasing and spices, and the second is to fry the fish. Milkfish is already tasty by itself, but we can still enhance the flavor by marinating it in vinegar, garlic, peppercorn, and chili peppers. I also find it helpful to add Knorr liquid seasoning because it makes my spicy daing na bangus yummier.

You can enjoy this dish for breakfast (like I do), or serve it during lunch or dinner – it does not matter. What’s important is the enjoyment that you get when eating this dish and the smile that it brings to whoever you partake it with.
