A Bit Of 50kg Garoupa For Diners

>>Gigantic: The 50KG Garoupa was caught in the deep sea off Port Klang.

A RARE catch of a 50kg giant Garoupa is the special treat at Aunty Nat's this May.

The fish caught in the deep sea off Port Klang will be served for dinner at 50% off for a la carte orders at the restaurant as a way of sharing with its loyal customers.

Restaurant owner Elaine Too said it was a cultivated fish as it was caught off the hook in the deep sea.

She said the general perception of big fishes is that the meat is hard and it lacked in taste.

"But this is wrong. Once our supplier caught the same kind of fish, only a little smaller and the meat was very tender and juicy. The layering offish oil in the meat makes it special," she said.

However, the best part of the fish is its skin.

The skin may look leathery and thick but when cooked the right way, it is a delicacy as it becomes spongy and springy," said Too.

She recommended simple recipes such as steaming to savour the rich taste of the fish.

"It is best served steamed with garlic oil and fresh garnishing," she said.

The fish can also be served in noodle soup or porridge.

The giant fish will be served at Aunty Nat's two outlets in Sri Hartamas and Mid Valley until
May 31.
