Holiday fish-cooking... And New Pacu Record - 1kg

Last week (my last week of sem break), i decided to cook some of the fish i've been keeping in the freezer. I decided to cook two Peacock Bass and two Pacus.

Man! Scaling and cleaning the fish without the proper tools can be gila tiring! After almost 2 hours cleaning the fish and getting pieces of fillet from them, i put it through the usual deep fry process.

Turned out to be quite nice! The peacock bass actually no fishy smell at all. The Pacu got a bit la, but just at a certain part. It was quite nice la, cooking and eating self-caught fish at home. Just that it was tiring la.

Besides cooking some fish at home, mummy also took the 1.5kg keli to the Bagan Restaurant and they cooked Kong Po style, then we brought back and makan at home. Fuyoh! Sedap man! Very well cooked la. We decided from then, better leave it to the experts.

On sunday (25th may), daddy wanted to buy Ps Mike n Sis Diane lunch at Bagan Restaurant, so we took the 3 remaining peacock bass and asked them to do sweet n sour stlye... They fry so much better than the ones we did at home.

It's not only the fact that they're experts... But when it comes to these kinda things, they've got the big woks, and huge fires too, and all the right tools, so i think it'll always be difficult to do it as well as they do.

Last Saturday (24th May), went with DanR to Tanjung Syawal. We used dedak only... And brought back one fish only...

Actually i caught one more smaller one... But really disgusting coz sick dy and the skin being eaten by... Er... Anyway, some pak cik took it back... Yuck!

DanR got 2 hook-ons actually... But he lost both. Wasted!

It was a bit sad for us because quite a lot of ppl pulling up Pacus easily... But i'm glad at least i set new Pacu record... And this was one really healthy looking Pacu. Perfect. Just over 1kg. Around 1.1kg la.

It's in the freezer now... Not sure how wanna cook this...
