Without peeling, cut the bananas into halves along their length. Scoop  
out the flesh with a spoon. Leave the peel boat-shaped. Grate the banana  
flesh. Mix the mince, chopped onion, and salt with the grated banana flesh.  
Add the beaten egg to bind the mixture. Put the mixture back into the banana  
peels. Tie the halves together with string. Steam for 25 minutes or bake in a  
moderate oven (180ºC or 350ºF) for 45 minutes.  
Peel bananas and slice. Wrap the bananas and fish with the other  
ingredients in 4 banana leaf packages. Place in a baking dish. Bake in a  
moderate oven (180ºC or 350ºF) until the fish is tender (about 30 to 45  
minutes).
