Crispy Fried Dilis, Deep Fried Fresh Anchovies. Dilis is one of the several fish that are always available in wet markets and not to mention it is also cheaper than the other fishes. This probably because it is troublesome to clean and of course removing the bones before eating. Well if you have time to de-bone each fish and are really fresh, dilis are great for kinilaw. Other than that dilis is cooked as paksiw or fried. Here is how I fried it, it is so crispy even the bones can be eaten.
