Paksiw na Isda ( Tulingan )

Paksiw na Isda

Tulingan is one of my favorite fish, This kind of fish is hard to find from where I lived, and I'm just so happy when I found it at "Chutchay's" Filipino store right down at Reynoldsburg. It's like 30-35 minutes drive not that far and they sell all kinds of Filipino stuffs. I always go there twice a month with couple friends just buy some Filipino goods and one of them is this kind of fish " Tulingan" I can get enough with these fish they're just so yummy. ( haha! ) It's more delicious, if you eat it with Filipino friends. I grew up eating this kind of food everyday and I'm telling you, I craved for this from time to time. Thanks to " Chutchay's"! my Paksiw craving is over. The best thing to cook this kind of fish is " Paksiw" or "Prito" since they're frozen. Back in Pinas my Mom, make this fish in any preparation and they all taste yummy. It's also good "Tinola" style only when its fresh. So, I made this " Paksiw" on New Year Party, My preggy friend Rose love this fish and so all my friends, So I thought it would be nice surprise if I'm gonna brought some to the party. We just decided to put it on the side so that the smell won't over power the other food too.(haha).( wink).

The process of making this dish is very simple...just combine everything in one pot. whoala fish fiesta in no time.

Tulingan
