Fish and vegetable dishes are appropriate for most of us this time of the year. Let me share with you my simple version of kinamatisang isda. This is a simple Filipino fish recipe that has a mild flavor. Fish, such as red snapper, is cooked with tomato and onion. The only seasoning that this dish makes use of is fish sauce.

Aside from red snapper, you can use any kind of fish that you like when cooking kinamatisang isda. However, I recommend medium to large sized fishes. The tomato and onion are very important for this recipe because the dish derives most of its favor from these ingredients. It is recommended that you maximize your cooking time to extract the most flavors from these.

How to Cook Kinamatisang Isda

By watching the video above, you will know that this is a simple and easy fish dish to prepare. Simply boil water and add the tomato and onion. The trick is to simmer the these longer to extract the flavor. You can mash these afterwards to be sure.

Add the fish and let it cook in low to medium heat for a few minutes. Do not attempt to increase the heat because rapid boiling will tear the fish meat apart. It won’t look pretty.

The fish sauce is added towards the end of the cooking process. The amount of fish sauce will depend on your preference. Serve this dish warm with rice.
