Pritong Tilapia

Did you know that this type of fish is caught in the Sea of Galilee during Biblical times? Today, it is one of the most commercially important aquacultured species. It can be prepared as grilled, steamed, as Escabeche, fillet or simply frying it just like the one we show here.

Ingredients:

5 pcs medium Tilapia (cleaned and scales removed)
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp pepper
cooking oil

Procedure:

1. Rub salt and pepper into the Tilapia including the insides.
2. In a pan over medium heat, heat the oil.
3. When the oil is hot put the Tilapia and cover it. Fry the Tilapia 5 to 10 minutes in each side.
4. Remove from heat. Serve in a platter with lots of rice and soysauce with Calamansi or your prefered dipping sauce.
