Wash and clean the snapper fish with vinegar and cold water.

Dry the fish with a paper towel to prevent splashing when frying.

Cut the fish on one side to create a pocket for seasoning.

Prepare the seasoning mix: half teaspoon each of garlic powder, fish seasoning, vegeta, black pepper, seasoning salt, and all-purpose seasoning.

Stuff the seasoning into the belly of the fish, ensuring it's well-seasoned.

Pour half a cup of corn oil into a frying pan and turn the heat to maximum.

Soak the bammy in milk to soften it before frying.

Cut the bammy into halves or quarters before frying.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the garlic to infuse flavor into the oil.

Reduce the heat to medium before adding the fish to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

Fry the fish until done, turning occasionally to cook evenly.

Remove the garlic from the oil once it is burnt to avoid bitterness.

Fry the soaked bammy in the same oil to absorb the flavors from the fish.
