Bangus Belly Steaks or Bangus Bistik is another version of Bistek Tagalog  (Filipino beef steak) , normally beef is the main ingredients for  cooking bistek but in this recipe we will use Bangus Belly (milkfish belly) as the main ingredients.

Daing na Bangus (Milkfish Marinated in Vinegar and Garlic)

Daing na bangus or Milkfish marinated in vinegar and garlic is very popular Filipino dish. Daing is a manner of preserving fish in preparation of salted and sun-dried. But in this recipe it is simply marinated the Milkfish in vinegar, salt, black pepper and plenty of garlic then fried before serving.

In the Philippines, daing na bangus is readily available in the supermarkets but I still prefer to make it from scratch. It's kinda time consuming especially in deboning the Bangus (milkfish). It is also best to use pork and beef meat in this daing recipe.

Rellenong Bangus (Stuffed Milkfish) Recipe

Rellenong bangus or relyenong bangus (Stuffed Milkfish) is a very special Filipino dish and considered a party dish of sorts. Not because any of the ingredients are prohibitively expensive but because of the amount of work involved in cooking it. Like preparing the vegetables and fish, removing the fish meat leaving the fish skin intact, steaming, de-boning, flaking, marinating, stuffing and frying. In the end, you will satisfied in the yummy taste of milkfish.

Every time I cooked Paksiw na bangus, I always included vegetables (eggplant or ampalaya),  because the juices of ampalaya and talong (bitter gourd and eggplant) some how enhance the paksiw flavor of bangus.
