Fish Sinigang is a popular Filipino dish known for its savory and tangy flavors. This traditional soup features tender fish, typically milkfish or tilapia, simmered with tamarind or other souring agents like calamansi or unripe mango, giving it a distinct, refreshing acidity. It is paired with a medley of nutrient-rich vegetables such as kangkong (water spinach), okra, radish, and eggplant, and commonly includes tomatoes and onions for added depth. Fish Sinigang is a low-fat, high-protein meal, making it a heart-healthy option when prepared with lean fish and minimal oil. The abundance of vegetables contributes fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants to support overall health. However, sodium content can be higher if commercially prepared seasonings or fish sauce are used, so opting for low-sodium alternatives can make this dish even healthier. Fish Sinigang offers a harmonious blend of nutritional benefits and vibrant flavors rooted in Filipino culinary tradition.
