Paksiw na Galunggong
Paksiw na Galunggong is my favorite paksiw na Isda also when it comes to fried fish. Galunggong is also known as mackerel scad. It is a popular and a common fish in the Philippines. It used to be a cheap fish but not during my last visit in the Philippines as it cost almost the same as other kind of fish. My other favorite method of cooking galunggong is fried and grilled in charcoal specially when fresh.
Paksiw is a type of Filipino cooking method where you cook and simmer the fish or meat in vinegar with onions, garlic and other common vegetable like eggplant, bitter melon, okra and more. You can also add coconut milk in some other dishes specially with fish. Paksiw na Isda is quick and simple to make.
