Bangus (Milkfish) is an all time favorite of mine. And I would get my supply from Farmers market in Cubao whenever I can. There you can request the seller to debone them for you but of course with extra fee (that's ten pesos a piece). That was before... I bought a pair of surgical forceps and now I do the deboning myself. Neat huh?!
Let me share with you a dish that my family enjoys eating whenever i cook...
