Ocean Catch

Yesterday,on the 15th of Ramadhan, we had fish for iftar. 
Mr.B decided to make 'ikan pari bakar' or can we call it grilled skate wings or BBQ stingray hehehe...I told him I was thinking of cooking 'daging masak hitam' but we didn't have any beef in the freezer. So, ikan pari lah...

the stingrays were grilled on banana leaf with a mixture of lemon juice, kaffir lime juice ( limau purut ) olive oil, ginger, black pepper, turmeric leaves (daun kunyit) and lemongrass (serai)


When you have 'ikan pari bakar' you must have the air asam ,the gravy! It's a must. This was prepared by me. Mr.B loved my air asam :) It's a simple one to make; we need 

20 birdeye chilies (cili padi), chopped
2 medium sized onions, chopped
2 tablespoon dried shrimp paste ( belacan
2 tablespoon tamarind juice ( asam jawa )

mix all together and there you go...it's ready to be eaten with ikan pari bakar



the fried mackerels were for Aqeel... He had two bowls of rice with these! I was so surprised to see he ate so much rice and fish. Alhamdulillah...at least he had extra energy and wouldn't be tired fasting the next day.
