We got a whole yellow fina tuna and sliced into serving pieces then cooked them adobo style minus the soy sauce. Half is cooked with coconut milk and the other half with curry sauce. Both are delicious.

Adobo

First, cook the fish as adobo by simmering in water, vinegar, salt, pepper and lots of garlic. When fish is cooked, remove half of it and half a cup of sauce and reserve. To the rest of the fish, add a cup of coconut cream and simmer till coconut cream is cooked and the sauce has thickened. Serve with rice.

Curry

To the reserved fish, pan fry till browned. In a pan, mix the reserved sauce, a cup of milk and a teaspon each of curry mix and chili flakes. Simmer till sauce is thickened and add the pan-fried fish. Coat evenly with the sauce and serve.

Food spoils easily, so material handling is must. Work with clean hands and work surfaces.

I think I like the curry one better with the extra kick of chili flakes . I’m not very familiar with adobo although I’ve seen much of it in the foodie blogosphere.
