Fried Fish [Mackerel]

Mackerel [called Ikan Kembung in Bahasa Malaysia], now in season and reasonably cheap.  Prices ranges from Ringgit 4.00  to 6.00 per kilogram.  The above plate of mackerel is Ringgit 2.00 [1/2 kg].  Simply season with some salt and tumeric powder and fried.  Can be served with porridge or rice  with sambal belacan or chopped chillies in soy sauce.

This is the sardine fish.  Can be fried as above or use to cook 'Assam Belai'.  A tasty fish but prices are slightly higher than the above mackerel.
