Milkfish presto is an innovation made by the people of Semarang. The presto milkfish was created because of creative thinking to overcome the many thorns contained in the milkfish meat. The fish that has been seasoned with garlic, turmeric, and salt is then cooked on a banana leaf using the pressure cooker technique.

Presto is a way of cooking using high-pressure steam. Milkfish that have been seasoned are placed in a pan and then locked tightly. 

The water in the pan is then heated until it boils and produces water vapor which will soften the spines on the milkfish. This technique is what makes it a complement to milkfish which is then known as Presto Milkfish.
