Thanks for giving me one more reason to hate raisins.

I also marinate the fish skin in soy sauce and kalamansi to give it some flavor and a darker hue when fried. And while M’s version above looks yummy, I personally prefer a “drier” version of the stuffing. I suppose it’s the addition of eggs at the end that made her version somewhat runny.
As for the raisins, one way to remove the visual of garapata is to halve/quarter each one. Time-consuming, for sure, but the sweetness it imparts to the relleno is unique.

My mom cooks relleno the same way. She hasnt done it for a while so I guess its time to remind her :)

By the way, I also have that association with plump raisins looking like you-know-what. Another association that I have is with ginataang monggo – the roasted monggo’s look like itlog ng ipis hihi

We always liked raisins. Golden raisins won’t look like insects. Love this basic relleno inspite of all the work.

…for a smoky undertone, next time, Betchay, try adding roasted sweet red peppers. It has been ages since I made this rellenong bangus…about some 40 years ago when I helped my aunt and my cousin make this every dec. 27th.

Safe trip, Ms. Connie C and Mr. T!
