Silver pomfret are soft, sweet, fatty fish with very few bones and my family loves to eat them. There are 2 types of silver pomfret : Parastromateus niger and Pampus argenteus. In Vietnam, this fish is raised a lot in the river and is often used to cook the dish: " braised banana fish", the price of 1kg of fish meat is 40,000 VND / 1 kg, about 2 dollars / 1kg. I went to the market today and saw them selling some fish caught in the sea, I rarely fish from the sea because it is quite dry and salty. But the fishmonger told me that the sea silver pomfret really does taste great, it doesn't taste dry and hard like mackerel fish, this fish has a firm, white flesh. And I tried to cook sea fish with tomato sauce and some other ingredients, oh my god it's really great fish but it's expensive 180,000 VND/kg ( 9 dollars / 1kg). 😣Anyway this dish is worth a try, this fish did not break during cooking. 🤣
With a fish, what dishes can you make?
I usually make dishes such as: fish soup with bamboo shoots, fish soup with salted vegetables, fried fish, stewed fish, fish salad, braised fish, grilled fish.. (there are many delicious dishes made from fish ingredients). Fish in tomato sauce is always the first dish that comes to mind, I love the taste of fish marinated in spices then dipping in sweet and sour tomato juice. 🍅🐟This stew fish in tomato sauce is such a delicious comfort food meal, and it’s light and healthy, too! You will be amazing at the flavour you get from my recipe. With just a pan and a few ingredients, you will have a nutritious and Asian-style dish. It’s easy to make this stew fish sits in the middle of the table so everyone can enjoy it together. 😍
In this part I will write in 2 languages, English and Vietnamese because my friends are also curious about how I make this food. 💁💁

1. Clean the fish to remove the internal organs in the fish's belly. For other fish, I usually use a large knife to cut them into pieces. But this beautiful fish was quite small so I kept the whole fish and cooked it. Use a knife to make slits on the fish, fry the fish for a few minutes on each side. Place fish in bowl, marinate fish with a little salt, pepper and wine for 20 minutes.
Làm sạch cá để loại bỏ phần nội tạng trong bụng cá. Đối với các loại cá khác, mình thường dùng một con dao lớn để cắt chúng thành từng miếng. Nhưng con cá xinh đẹp này khá nhỏ nên mình giữ nguyên cả con và nấu chín. Dùng dao rạch các đường trên mình cá, rán cá trong vài phút cho mỗi mặt. Cho cá vào tô, ướp cá với một chút muối, tiêu và rượu trong 20 phút.

2. Heat the oil in a large pan, add chopped dried onions, fry until they are slightly translucent about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, cook the tomatoes in low heat until they are pulpy around 10 - 15 minutes. Stir the tomatoes occasionally to avoid it from sticking and burning to the bottom. Pour about 2 cups of hot water and let it come to a rapid boil. Add salt and MSG to your taste, stir until the ingredients melt..

3. Gently place the fish in the tomatoes sauce pan, cover the lid and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. Remove from heat, Turn off the stove and add herbs such as scallions, dill, saw leaf ( These herbs give this dish more color and more appealing flavor, in addition, the dill works to reduce the fishy smell of the fish.)
Nhẹ nhàng đặt cá vào chảo sốt cà chua, đậy nắp và đun trên lửa nhỏ trong khoảng 15 phút cho đến khi nước sốt đặc lại và bớt đi một chút. Sau đó, tắt bếp và cho các loại rau thơm như hành lá, thì là, lá mùi tàu vào (Các loại rau thơm này giúp món ăn có màu sắc và hương vị hấp dẫn hơn, ngoài ra thì là có tác dụng khử mùi tanh của cá).
