Fried maybe good, every once in a while. yes. But, not every day. I'm no health expert, but I can sure feel those grease creep inside. I drank soda right after dinner that evening. Of course, over accumulated number of times, those grease will pile, which will eventually lead to health issues..
I was thinking of other options, and I remembered I bought some Mackerel in the fish market a couple of days back. Now there's a healthy answer!
Mackerel, I found this site which tackles all the great benefits of including this kind fish into your menu, check this link:
Great, so we have a wholesome option and budget friendly solution: Mackerel. No, we're not frying the Mackerel, we're cooking it with style.
We call this dish in Tagalog "Pasksiw" and in visayan dialect "Inun-unan" - basically adding tamarind base or vinegar, into your lovely mackerel, and cooking it, with the right amount of water.
Cooking Mackerel in Tamarind or Vinegar soup is easy, and the choice of fish is good, since mackerels don't have a lot of sharp bones that can be distracting while eating. They have clean flesh (depends on how big you bought them), and should be cooked around . - minutes tops. And, if you're having a hard time looking for any Mackerels, any fish will do. Tuna, Blue Marlin, and others you can easily grab from a local fish market
Here's how to cook Inun-Unan
