Daing na Bangus Recipe

Daing na bangus or marinated fried milkfish has been always on the breakfast menu in most Filipino restaurants. It is served with rice and usually accompanied with tomatoes and salted egg. Milkfish are harvested in fish ponds and if you are to buy one, the best variety are those that are raised in Dagupan. I remember when I was a kid, my mom would clean, debone and butterfly the milkfish she had bought in the market. Nowadays, boneless and marinated milkfish are already available in the supermarkets, but I still prefer to make my own marinade for my daing na bangus. Since  in this recipe the milkfish is marinated in vinegar, it can be kept in freezer for days, you just need to thaw it before frying it.
