Bangus ala Pobre
Report
Bangus a la Pobre is easy to make yet so flavorful. Cooked until crispy and topped with a calamansi-soy sauce mixture, onions, and fried garlic, it's a tasty, budget-friendly dish that pairs well with steamed rice.

Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about ½ cup oil. Add garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until golden brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve oil.
- Season fish with salt and pepper to taste. Lightly dredge in flour to fully coat.
- Add to the pan (with garlic oil) in a single layer and cook, turning as needed until nicely golden crisp, and cooked through. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir until blended and set aside.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon butter.
- Add the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until slightly reduced.
- Arrange fried bangus on a heated sizzling plate. Drizzle with the sauce and garnish with onion rings and toasted garlic. Serve hot.
Notes
- Fry the garlic bits first, so you'll have a flavor-infused oil to use for frying the fish.
- If using sizzling plates, carefully heat the metal plates in the oven or on the stovetop for a few minutes before serving.
