Author Notes
This recipe is usually the first that comes to my mind when I have close friends who come to visit in our family house. It's not just because of the fish's availability (more popularly known as Tilapia or Cherry Snapper) but more importantly I perfected this recipe. Appetizing, cheap and simple preparations -- a combination of sorts.

Here's how it works to come out with a perfect dish.
