Directions
Remove the fins and tail of the milkfish with a sharp knife. Split it in half, starting from the tail to the head, running the knife along its belly. Remove the gills and innards and wash to remove blood. Place the fish with the skin side down and remove the backbone.
Mix the vinegar, garlic, onion, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Soak the fish in the marinade and set it aside for an hour.
Heat olive oil and fry the fish with the skin on the bottom for about 10 minutes.
Flip the fish and cook the opposite side for another 10 minutes.
