On cooking fish

My sister recently taught me, that when I fry a fish of any kind it is best to fry it with ginger. Inside the cavity of the fish and / or in the oil. This way, the fishy taste or what we call in filipino "langsa" is diminished. I tried it and indeed the fish tastes better with the ginger. You can even eat the crispy fried ginger afterwards.

Until recently, I didn't know that there are many ways in cooking fish, especially Tilapia. Being in on a tight budget, the only fish in our freezer are tilapia and bangus. Before I used to just fry, steam or grill the fishes. Then my sisters taught me other recipes. I never enjoyed fish more than I do now.
