Ingredients

4 pieces dried filefish (Jwipo)
1 tbsp butter cut in half
1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium preferred
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 serrano chili finely chopped

Instructions

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add dried filefish and gently press down with a spatula. Roast until brown spots form here and there on the bottom side with a slight charred edge.
Turn the fish over and continue roasting in butter while occasionally pressing down with a spatula. Cook until your desired doneness. Repeat the rest. Allow the fish jerky to cool slightly. Using a pair of scissors, cut it into bite-sized strips.
To make the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce and mayonnaise in a small, shallow serving dish. Sprinkle chopped chili on top. Do not mix the sauce.
To serve, dip the fish jerky into the dipping sauce and scoop up the pieces of chili, then enjoy with a cold drink, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
