Pinangat na Isda Recipe

Pinangat na Isda is a Filipino Fish dish. There are two popular versions of Pinangat: the sour version using bilimbi (kamias); and the Bicol version with gata. This recipe is the sour version.

Pinangat na Isda is one of the simple Filipino Food that I like eating. There is nothing fancy about this dish, yet I enjoy having it. Maybe it is because of its natural flavor that relaxes my taste buds — or perhaps the nostalgia that it brings.

Cooking pinangat is very easy. How easy? Let’s just say that it is way to easy compared to frying an egg. All you need to do is combine all the ingredients and cook them all at once. Simple, isn’t it?

Simple, isn’t it? I like having this dish with hot steamed rice and some fish sauce with chili. By the way, I plan to do the other version soon. Do you also enjoy eating Pinangat na isda?

    My son keeps noon on catching a lot of catfush. I’m tired of friying and paksiw. What else do you recommend.

    We call that ‘sinaing na isda’ in Batangas. Also, I add garlic and instead use dried kamias or vinegar. It could be any fish -- tulingan, bangus, galunggong, miralia (not sure if speling is right), dulong, hiwas, tambakol.

    Sounds Delicious, always healthy and low calorie but easy on rice…comment lo lang, its always good to add ginger (pinikpik na luya) it nutralized the fishy taste….. Yap, try adding ginger, to Pinangat, Paksiw or even Sinigang…na Isda..
