Got that. I think I’ll try it wrapped in gabi leaves. Like laing with dalag. Hmmm…

Sam, you cut th dalag then butterfly it? Kasi unless ibuka sya, where will the stuffing go?

Hi Connie,
I’m one of your avid reader…really like your stuff!!!
With regards to the guinataang dalag, have you tried this version: cut the fish into three, maybe four, stuff each with onions, ginger, garlic and tomatoes season with salt and pepper and then wrap each piece with pechay or gabi whichever you want…tie it of course para di maghiwahiwalay and then cook it sa gata…what do you think?
