The story behind this recipe
6 months ago the residence of Belitung invited some travel writers to visit and write Belitung tourism. We also served by traditional culinary of Belitung that most of all made by fish since Belitung produces many fresh fish from its sea, and we can easily find many kind of fish, shrimps etc at traditional market.

I like the taste of "Fish Gangan", because it is very delicious, fresh, spicy but sweet and not smelly and it is easy to cook
