All of you know that my husband loves fishing. Every fortnight in the summer, my husband and his man friends would go on a charter and bring home a lot of snappers. We have so many snappers in the freezer and there is only so much fried, steam, curry, fish one can take. So, what am I to do with all the excess fish. I can't stop the guy from going fishing so I have to find alternative recipes in which I can use the fish.
During my recent trip to Penang, my cousin Ah Bee, made some otak otak. Otak otak literary means brains as well, it sort of resembled brains as it is soft and squishy. No, one does not get any brainier from eating otak otak. It can be eaten plain, with bread or as part of a meal.
Otak otak is made by mixing fish paste with a mixture of spices. The mixture is then wrapped in a banana leaf that has been softened by steaming, then grilled or steamed.
Let me share with you my creation.
