Inihaw na Bangus
If a Filipino family is going to an outing, most probably, inihaw na bangus would be on the menu. Inihaw na bangus is easy, cheap, and tasty. You can prepare it before hand, throw in a pack with ice, and grill on site.
The only con would be that it is full of bones. What I do is I ask the fish vendor to debone the bangus fist and cut it into a butterfly. Then I can prepare it at home without worrying about the little ones getting a bone stuck in their throat.
The best bangus is the one with a lots of fat in the belly. The worst part for me is the tail. :P Prepare lots of rice beforehand. Also best with a bottle (or two) of San Miguel Beer.

...I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down. into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
