I wanted to innovate Pinoy (Filipino) fish recipes and refrain from utilizing Bangus (milk fish) & Tilapia. WHY? Frequently, 7 in every 10, they're "lasang lumot" (taste like moss) And why Pomfret (Pampano)? Primordial reason is-its somewhat "buttery" or "creamy" flavor vividly satisfies your palate more so if the part taken comes from the area of the belly. Believe you me, tastier than "Bangus" & way way far up than "Tilapia". Secondly, highly manageable to prep as they're not as boney as milk fish.
