8 to 10 pieces dried or fresh bilimbi kamias
4 to 6 cups water
4 to 5 tablespoons coarse sea salt or rock salt

3. Soak the fish in water for 10 minutes and clean the blood that comes out.
4. Salt the fish by rubbing rock or sea salt. Make sure that you apply the salt even to the internal part. Press the fish so that it will be flatten. Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Arrange the bilimbi (kamias) in a clay pot or a regular cooking pot. Place each fish in pre-cut banana leaves and then arrange them over the bilimbi. Add the pork fat arrange them in between of the fish. Pour-in the water. The water level should be equal to the level of the fish.

6. Apply heat and then allow to boil. Simmer (reduce to a lower temperature) the fish for 4 to 5 hours. Add water as needed.
7. Transfer the fish in a serving plate. Transfer the remaining liquid (called patis) in a bowl.
