Fresh water Cavalla (Maliputo) is found in the waters of Taal Lake but hard to find in wet markets. You may use the salt water version, Talakitok in Filipino, and taste and texture is similar to Pompano (you may use this fish as well). The recipe I used is a combination of Chinese and Filipino using ingredients easily found in markets except for the wansoy (Chinese cilantro).
Ingredients:
1/3 kg. Cavalla, cleaned
4 tblspns soy
1 slice of lemon
1 small tomato, sliced
1 tspn sugar
2-3 drops of sesame oil
2 tblspns vegetable oil
3 sprigs of wansoy or cilantro, chopped
2 pcs chile peppers, chopped
1 slice of ginger, julienne cuts
pinch of black pepper
Recipe:
Mix all the ingredients in a cup. Massage fish with lemon juice and black pepper. Place fish on aluminum foil and pour the mixed ingredients on the fish and cover aluminum foil. Let the mixture marinade for about an hour and cook on a steamer for about 30 minutes and serve.
