CRISPY POMFRET
Best Fishing Day!!!
Three days ago my husband and his friends doing his fishing trip and they bring home a lot of fish from that fishing trip, there are pomfret, grouper, eel and still much more types of fish that I don't know the name, so sorry cause I'm not a fisherman. So I choose pomfret fish for my next cooking, this time, i borrow my mother in law recipe book. After my "hunting" at my mother in law recipe book, I choose one and this is the greatest way to cook this pomfret fish.
And.....
It's just simply deep fried LOL and of course with some marinade seasonings before we deep fry this pomfret fish. Later on, in the future if I've found a few recipes for processing pomfret fish, surely I will update it or maybe you could send me a recipe and I will accept it gracefully.
Actually, my mother in law want to steam this fish but at that day, there are several herbs that are out of stock and those herbs are very important for steamed recipe it would be awful without that magic herbs. I forgot what herbs is that but i will ask if I met her again.
But for now, let's cook with this simple, quick, delicious method.
