Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) fillet whole milkfish (bangus), or to taste
1 lemon
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 ½ tablespoons green peas
1 carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
¼ cup raisins, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Remove scales, gills, and insides of milkfish; cut off part of the tail. Pound fish firmly to loosen it up. Cut fish open lengthwise from the backside. Scrape meat out into a saucepan over medium-high heat, being careful not to tear the skin.
  • Squeeze 1/2 the lemon onto the fish meat; add soy sauce. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove fish bones from the meat.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until onion is translucent. Add the fish meat, peas, carrot, celery, raisins, salt, and pepper. Cook until fish is opaque and flavors are combined, about 5 minutes. Let filling cool until safe to handle, at least 7 minutes.
  • Stuff fish skin with the filling. Sew up any openings to seal in the filling.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan. Fry the stuffed fish whole, turning as needed, until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Place on a plate or flat work surface and slice fish crosswise.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some cooked salmon on hand and it worked perfectly in this dish. The stuffing was also very versatile. I added some chopped vegetables and herbs that I had on hand.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can use any type of fish you like, and you can adjust the stuffing to your own taste. I often add some chopped bacon or sausage to the stuffing for extra flavor.
