Paksiw na Isda Recipe (Fish in Vinegar)

Paksiw is a common dish in any Filipino household especially since it takes such a short amount of time to prepare. 

How do you make paksiw na isda? 

Although there are numerous variations of this dish such as lechon paksiw, paksiw na tulingan (tuna), and paksiw na pata (pork leg), using bangus (milkfish) is the traditional way of preparing the dish. The milkfish is cooked in vinegar, garlic, and a few select ingredients, in order to make a delicious and very tangy broth. You just have to remember to cook the vinegar until the sharpness has cooked out before serving for best results.
