Yes. But they can slip in right behind someone with a card who is
usually too intimidated to make them leave. I feel sorry enough for
them to leave them be.

     Title: Baked Fish In Banana Leaf
Categories: Singapore, Fish
  Servings: 4

      2    Selar Fish
      2    stalk Lemon Grass, slightly
           flatten
      2 sl Galangal
      2    Banana Leaves (big enough to
           wrap the fish)
      2    Lime, cut
    1/2 ts Salt for marinading
      3 TB Oil for frying
           Additional Salt to taste
    1/2 ts Sugar
           Spices to be grind
           together:
      3    Shallot
      3    clove Garlic
      1    thumb size Turmeric
      2    Fresh Red Chillies
      2    Dried Red Chillies
      4    Candlenuts

(Selar is a genus in the Carangidae family of fish which includes
the jacks, pompanos, jack mackerels, and scads. -JW)

This is my husband's favourite fish dish. Phew! At least it's not
expensive cod. This is just the opposite. It's cheap! It only cost
me a dollar to get one Selar. But it doesn't taste cheap though.

As it's a hassle to prepare the spices, I usually do more and keep
it in the fridge for a few more days. It goes quite well with squid
too.

If you can't get banana leaf, you can use aluminum foil, not that it
taste nice lah. At least you could cover it (like a tent) to bake.
So the fish won't get too dried up, exposed to direct baking and to
let the fish gets the flavours. Only open up the foil to let it bake
for 2 minutes at the end if you wish.

Does this reminds you of those BBQ fish in Singapore?

How to do it: Clean fish and rub with salt. Set aside for 1/2 hour.
Wash and dry banana leaf. Coat with oil and place on baking tray or
oven proof dish to be used later. Heat oil in wok and fry the grind
spices till fragrant. Add in lemon grass and galangal. Continue
frying till fragrant. Add in sugar and salt to taste. Remove and set
aside. Either bake the fish in the oven or pan fry it for 5 minutes
so it's slightly cooked on the surface. Coat fish with spices and
wrap with a banana leaf. (Just fold leaf over and secure with
toothpick) Bake in preheated oven at 200C for 8 minutes before
turning over to continue baking for another 5 minutes or till fully
cooked. Squeeze in lime and serve immediately.
