Description

A white flesh denser than bangus/milkfish meat with the texture of freshwater fish but the flavor of a saltwater resident. Does that make sense? That's the description that popped into my head when I had several servings of grilled banak for breakfast one day on my quick trip to Coron, Palawan. We were at the local town market minutes after getting off our plane, and a local I was with got excited at the sight of several medium sized pieces of banak being sorted from pails of fish that had just been unloaded from a small banca. We bought all 4-5 kilos of banak and they were simply gutted, salted and grilled, scales and all, over a charcoal flame. The substantial scales served to protect the meat and the results were surprisingly good. A sawsawan or dipping sauce of vinegar, soy sauce and chilis and a pile of freshly boiled rice and we were definitely happy campers Sorry, I was so hungry I obviously forgot to take a photo of the cooked fish
