Hi there!
Was wondering, what is lapu lapu in English?

i often bake fish than fry and I experimented a lot of variations to prepare it…I usually prepare the lapulapu “daing”style so I dont need to flip it over when serving and the spices and the aroma would be more evenly spread…and of course, presentation is even better..try it…I have a simpler recipe which is always a hit…I choose 500 grams size, slice it daing style, coat generously with mustard and pour in olive oil and evenly put on the serving dish sliced lemon..pop it in inside the oven …

Looks really delicious. We have steamed lapu-lapu quite often, sometimes the skin comes out thick and rubbery. Makes me wonder if they are a different kind of lapu-lapu. Searing skin first then bake it could be the solution. I’ll definitely try this. Do we have to turn the fish at half time while baking?

I’m sure this is an excellent recipe, but I must say, that’s one angry looking lapu lapu! Scary!

Hej MM
I love the palette of green herbs and veggies you laid out for the lapu-lapu! You’d win hands-down if you were in a Masterchef contest both for presentation and I’m sure for the contrast of textures and delicacy of tastes! Yummy!
