Really good quality milkfish belly! The fish has a rich, slightly buttery flavor and stays tender and juicy after cooking. I especially like that it is boneless, which makes it much easier to eat and prepare. It cooks up nicely pan-fried until the outside is golden and crispy. Convenient to keep in the freezer for a quick meal and goes perfectly with rice.
