Sinigang na Isda: A Sour Fish Soup
Filed under Fish & other seafood; Healthy veggies; Home-cooked meals; Comfort food, eggplants, Filipino, Superb soups

Milkfish or bangus is the fish most commonly used in cooking fish sinigang. Maya-maya, dalagang-bukid, talakitok, kanduli or any fleshy fish is just as good. I used maya-maya fillets for this version.
Sinigang is a sour soup. The main ingredient may be meat or seafood. Mashed and strained tamarind is usually used for flavoring the broth of meat sinigang. Guava is a better choice for seafood sinigang. This dish also features a variety of vegetables that may include include kangkong (water spinach), sitaw (stringbeans), talong (eggplants), okra and gabi (taro). Long green chili beans are usually added to spice up the broth.
