Kinilaw na Isda

The very first time I tried this dish was in College, I only gave it a bite since we used "bolinaw" and I was not sure I would like it. But somebody requested I make this so I did but I use a different fish and surprisingly it was really good. 


Ingredients:

Fish
Onions
Ginger
Tomato
Vinegar
Calamondin (lemonsito)


Directions:

1. Debone fish then cut it into bite size. 
2. Slice the onions and tomatoes and mix with the fish.
3. Peel and slice the ginger, smash and then mix with the rest.
4. Add the vinegar and lemonsito. Taste it and make sure its not so sour.


Mix well. Serve.



PS.  I forgot what fish I used for this but they say the most popular fish to be used for "kinilaw" is tangigue.
