How To Cook Paksiw Na Isda Recipe
Paksiw Na Isda Recipe is a term used to refer to dishes cooked in vinegar and garlic. This could pertain to meats like pork (Paksiw na Pata and Lechon Paksiw are some of the examples) and seafood.
Paksiw na Isda or Fish Cooked in Vinegar is a quick and easy seafood dish that is said to be one of the common everyday dishes prepared by Filipino families. Since the Philippines is composed of over 7,100 islands, fish is a staple particularly on the coastal areas.
Bangus or Milkfish has been the regular fish variety for this dish (Paksiw na Bangus). However, due to availability, budget reasons, and personal preference, other fish varieties can be used.
I grew-up ignoring this dish. When my mom serves this for lunch or dinner, I would go straight to the pantry and open a can of ma-ling (a brand of Chinese luncheon meat) or corned beef for myself. I guess that my taste buds are configured for fried meat and sweet foods when I was a kid; I’m sure that most of you can relate.
As time passed-by, I learned to appreciate simple dishes; fish and vegetables slowly became part of my regular diet. I guess all I needed was enough time to adjust. It’s about time or else I wouldn’t have had experienced the pleasures in trying different Filipino Food.

Paksiw Na Isda Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 piece Milkfish or Bangus, scaled, cleaned and cut in serving sizes
- 1 Long Chili Peppers, sliced diagonally
- 1/3 cup Vinegar
- 1 thumbsize Ginger, sliced in strips
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon White Pepper
PREPARATION TIME : 10 minutes
- Put all the ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Do not stir.
- Turn the heat down and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the fish is done. Turning the fish over to the other side is necessary if the pan you are using is too wide and the fish is not totally immersed in the liquid. Flip the fish over during halfway through the cooking process.
- Serve with a plate of rice.
TIPS:
- You can use Galunggong instead of Bangus. Try to watch the cooking time as it is not as meaty as the Bangus, thus, tends to cook faster.
- Do not stir the vinegar mixture in Step #1 so the vinegar will not taste fresh and very tangy.
- Handle the fish delicately so it doesn’t fall apart when you are flipping it over or when plating the dish.
