Fish and fish eggs soup

I always say never overcook your fish. I have to say it more empathically when cooking fish eggs. The best way to enjoy them is to undercook them. The outside should be a little firm but the center should remain soft. Believe me, you’ll add fish eggs among your favorites if you cook them right.

This recipe is for one person only.

Ingredients :

1 small piece of fish with bones (you want the bones to flavor the broth)
1 piece of fish eggs in sac
1 tsp. of finely sliced garlic
1 tsp. of finely sliced ginger
1/2 onion, finely sliced
patis
1 tbsp. of cooking oil
finely chopped onion leaves for garnish

Cooking procedure :

Heat the cooking oil in a small sauce pan. Saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until limp. Pour in about a cup and a half of water. Season with patis. Bring to a boil. Drop in the piece of fish and the eggs in their sac. When the broth starts to boil again, count thirty seconds then turn off the heat. Cover the sauce pan and let the fish continue cooking in the hot broth for about a minute.

Transfer the fish and fish eggs to a soup bowl, pour some broth over them and sprinkle with chopped onion leaves.

Serve hot.

    hi, ms. connie! i love fish eggs too! my mom cooks it differently–she sautes it with onions, garlic and tomatoes. :) in quezon, we call fish eggs ‘kanas’. she makes her fish eggs dish a little salty because that’s our substitute for bagoong. :) it goes well with fried or grilled fish.

    Gosh, I love fish eggs too. And can buy them often as I wish here, for there are a lot of seafood store here, especially in the Oriental Area of Houston.
