One of the reasons why Silver Croaker / Drum is so popular is due to its mild and delicate flavor. Its white flesh has a slightly sweet taste, with a texture that is both firm and flaky. This makes it versatile and suitable for different cooking methods, as it can be easily grilled, baked, fried, steamed or even used in soups and stews.

Like most fish, croakers make for good eats when fried. It’s often breaded or dusted with cornmeal or flour and pan-fried, but baking croakers helps to bring out its natural flavor. One of my favorite : dip a dressed, scaled Croaker in water, milk, egg or a combination of the three, then roll in corn flour and cook in hot grease.

Or simply sprinkle the fillets with salt, pepper, lemon juice and bake 10 minutes for every inch of fish. When croakers start to flake easily, you’re ready to dig in.  The meaty fish also can be steamed whole cleaned croaker with soya sauce, ginger, green onion, peper.
