Escabecheng Talakitok

Escabecheng Talakitok
Escabecheng Talakitok. On this post is my version of yellow tinted escabecheng isda. Talakitok can be substituted with any fish but I would suggest white flesh fish. This is mainly for the reason that it will look more vibrant with the yellow sauce. The fish I used for this dish is about a kilo in size and weight. I want it serve as is, one whole fish with all the yellow sweet and sour sauce pour over it. I have to use an oval frying pan for the job. Don’t worry if you don’t have this kind of frying pan. You can always cut the fish in half to for easier frying. Just arrange the fish back together in a big platter before pouring the sauce over, otherwise use sliced fish instead.

Ingredients:

1 medium size talakitok, or any white flesh fish
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup vinegar
2 thumb size ginger, cut into thin strips

1 large size onion, sliced thinly
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, sliced thinly
1 tsp. turmeric powder
1/4 c. sugar
salt

This post is actually overdue, several readers have been asking if I had tried to cook crispy pata using the turbo broiler on my first crispy pata recipe a few years back. Click this link Crispy Pata , to see that post. If you are interested there is also a bonelsee version in the archives, click the link Boneless Crispy Pata to see that post. Ok back to my Turbo Crispy Pata , the idea of cooking crispy pata using the turbo broiler is to drain out or at least reduce the fats. With turbo crispy pata we have a healthier version .
