I love to cook this dish whenever I can get my hands on real fresh and nice fish head , I normally use red snapper , yours looks spicy and shiok !
Thanks for your quick reply.
Hi Alice,
You can get the paste from supermarket and it is not oily. if prefer more spicy, add some chilli paste (the paste we used to make curry).
You can also try the green chilli paste with chicken, also taste good.
