A popular cooking method in the Philippines is “Daing na Bangus”. The fish is butterflied, cutting from the top, leaving the belly intact. It is then deboned (or not), marinated in vinegar, garlic and herbs and fried. It is often served for breakfast! Try serving with a dry Riesling. With its sweet, citrusy flavour, it pairs well with this fish, whichever way it is cooked.
