Inun unan Recipe (Fish cooked in Vinegar)

Inun unan is a Filipino fish recipe that involves fish and vinegar along with some vegetables and spices. This inun-unan recipe is easy to follow because the steps are simple and easy. The result is a great tasting fish that you will enjoy with warm white rice.

Inun unan is similar to paksiw in many ways – I think that this is the Visayan version of the paksiw na isda. I liked the idea of having ampalaya and eggplant incorporated in the dish because I had fun eating the vegetables especially ampalaya – it was not bitter at all. The fish is very flavorful too.I always like it dipped in spicy fish sauce (patis).

I used tulingan (bullet tuna) for this inun unan recipe, but you can also use other varieties of fish. Bangus and tilapia will make a good inun-unan, so does tuna and butterfish.
