Fish Tinola Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Fish Tinola is a Filipino ginger based soup dish. This is composed of fish (fillet or otherwise), papaya or chayote wedges, malunggay and/or hot pepper leaves. It is best consumed during the cold and rainy weather.

Fish Tinola is usually eaten with white or brown rice. You can also have this as an appetizer. Preparing tinola is very easy and quick as well. Since we are dealing with fish, the cooking time is faster compared to pork or beef dishes. The most popular Filipino tinola dish is chicken tinola. Another example of a variation of fish tinola is tinolang bangus, which makes use of milkfish.

I enjoy eating tinola because it gives me comfort. This is one of the soup dishes that I regularly cook during winter or cold weather because it keeps me warm.

I used salmon for this recipe. However, do not limit yourself with this type of fish. Use any kind of fish that you like whether it is fillet or not. I’m sure that you will love this dish.
