Notes
Tips for frying the fish:
Heat up oil. Fry the fish under medium low heat. Just fry it slowly. Then you will have nice and crispy fish skin outside and soft fish meat inside.
Unlike normal Promfet that’s best steamed, black Promfet has harsher and leaner meat that’s less flavourful, so a stronger tasting taucho sauce makes a good compliment to this dish.
Simple ingredients also can create nice dish!
Best served as one of main entre with boiled or steamed rice or even piping hot porridge for a delightful meal.
So do enjoy!
