This is a recipe of grilled milk fish stuffed with onions and tomatoes then wrapped with banana leaves. Also known as inihaw na bangus, cooking this grilled fish is best on hot charcoal. And there are also other options on wrapping it. If banana leaves are not available, you can use aluminum foil.

But sometimes I prefer not wrapping it with anything at all because I want the scales and skin to be roasted well. But if the coals are too hot, you might burn the scales and the skin so the technique it don’t put too many charcoals and adjust the grills distance higher from the coals.
