How to cook Daing na Bangus
In Filipino cuisine, the word "Daing" refers to the process of generously salting, sun-drying, or simply marinating a fish in a vinegar marinade with plenty of garlic. Daing was traditionally made with salt to prevent bacterial growth and the sun's heat from evaporating extra moisture. Filipinos living overseas frequently crave this delicacy because milk fish is uncommon outside of South East Asia, and if it is, it is usually seasonal and frozen.
Some people choose to remove the scales from the milkfish before marinating it, but I recommend not removing them. Make sure not to destroy the meat if you want to debone the milk fish. If you want to butterfly the milkfish, Find the milkfish's bony side, and using the fish's backbone as a guide, slice the fish from the tail up toward the head. On the other side, repeat the process.
Use the fishbone tweezers to remove the smaller fishbone. In the Philippines, you can ask the tindera/vendor to clean, scale, gut, butterfly, and debone the milkfish for you. Additionally, the local supermarket sells deboned milkfish. You can use large or medium-sized milkfish, but since the small ones' bones are softer than the large ones, I advise using them instead.
Daing na Bangus is simple to prepare; simply cook it in hot oil until golden crisp. The marinade's garlic can also be added why you fry.
