Notes

Cooking Tips:

1. Choose Fresh Dalagang Bukid Fish:
Opt for dalagang bukid fish with firm, white flesh and a texture resembling grouper or crab meat. Ensure it's thoroughly cleaned and seasoned with a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
2. Master the Art of Frying:
Achieve the perfect crispiness by deep frying the seasoned fish until it turns golden-brown. This not only seals in flavors but adds a delightful crunch, enhancing the overall texture of the dish.
3. Seasoning Balance is Key:
Strike the right balance of salt and pepper to complement the natural sweetness of tomatoes and savory fried fish. Gradually adjust seasoning according to your taste, keeping in mind that a subtle touch can elevate the dish.
