Ikan Terubok
What you see is the fame ikan terubok whereby the flesh is very sweet and juicy but very bony. An expensive fish in Sarawak. Unfortunately, it cannot be grown in a farm so due to high demand in restaurant. In Sarawak, there isn't enough of this particular fish to go around. Still, it's very nice to eat if one has the patience to pick out all the bones. It needs to be eaten with rice so that the fine fish bones will stick to the rice and not stick to your throat. A word of caution when buying this fish, better bake it in the oven for about 15-30 minutes to make sure it's properly cooked
