Fried Galunggong, a staple in Filipino cuisine, is a simple yet flavorful dish made using galunggong, a type of mackerel scad fish native to the Philippines. The fish is cleaned, seasoned with salt, and deep-fried until golden and crispy, producing a satisfying crunch paired with tender, flaky meat. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, galunggong offers heart-healthy benefits, supports brain function, and aids in muscle repair. Additionally, it contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D and selenium. However, frying can add extra calories and saturated fats, particularly if unhealthy oils are used. For a healthier version, frying in minimal or heart-healthy oils like coconut or olive oil is recommended. Often enjoyed with steamed rice, vinegar dipping sauce, or pickled vegetables, it’s a versatile dish that reflects the comforting and resourceful spirit of Filipino home cooking.
