Gabu fish or in other languages called kuwe fish is a fish found in sea waters, this gabu fish is a large species of fish, so it is very delicious if we process this fish with coconut milk sauce, my family really likes to eat coconut milk gabu fish. Fried is also no less delicious, indeed this type of fish is cooked in any way it is certainly very delicious.
For me, this fish is best cooked in coconut milk, by adding spices available at home, such as shallots, garlic, chili, coriander, candlenuts, tamarind and others, making this dish rich in spices and more delicious to eat at home with your beloved family. With the aroma of spices that wafts to the nose, we really enjoy this dish.

This is how I cook gabu fish, it tastes really good, the spiciness is just right plus the taste of authentic Indonesian spices that are very appetizing, eaten with warm rice, boiled sweet potato vegetables + shrimp paste chili sauce, it really stimulates our appetite this time.By biting a whole cayenne pepper together with the gabu fish, it is very spicy indeed but also delicious, right?
This gabu fish is indeed abundant in my area, and the price is relatively cheaper when it is in season, and usually I cook this gabu fish by adding coconut milk, and sometimes I also cook it without coconut milk, the spices are the same, only the coconut milk is replaced with candlenuts and it is no less delicious, indeed, this gabu fish is very delicious no matter what it is cooked with.For those of you who have a stock of snakehead fish at home, I highly recommend cooking it like this, no need to add many other spices, because the characteristics of this fish are already delicious and sweet.In my family, everyone likes this fish. Yes, we often cook fish rather than chicken. I don't know why, maybe because fish is easier to get because my house is close to the fish market, while for chicken or meat we have to go to the traditional market first to buy it.
