Fish Head Curry (Kari Kepala Ikan) Again

To enjoy really delicious fish head curry, the fish head must be free of scales and properly cleaned. I hate it when scales get stuck in between my teeth and therefore investing little extra time to clean them will pay off eventually. The best part of fish head is the lips and the eyes.... that's my taste anyway.... it is not weird as many other people share the same liking.... all parts of the head are edible except the bone of course... LOL!

My curry recipe is simple but I can assure you will come back with a second plate.... as my hubby did every time!

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Ada tiga ekor kepala ikan dalam freezer sebab hubby suka beli Ikan Pelayar... Isi nya sedap di goreng tapi kepala nya sekali sekala je boleh makan... orang kata makan kepala ikan boleh nyanyuk.... betul ke? Wallahuallam.... Buat kari memang terangkat tau.... Along paling suka makan bibir & biji mata dia....hehee. Tips dari Along, kalau nak masak kepala ikan, cuci sisik2 tu sehingga bersih... leceh ler, terbantut selera kalau tengah makan ada sisik ikan lekat kat gigi.

Kari yang best mesti kaw pedas & secukup rasa garam & asam nya. Susah nak cari kari ikan yang sedap kat restoren kat Miri ni.... tak leh lawan ler yang masak sendiri....hehe. Resipi Along simple jer tapi yang penting pandai imbangkan rasa nya. Lagi best bila makan nasi ada ulam2an dan sambal tempoyak.... adeiiii dua pinggan nasi licin pun tak sedor.
