Fried Tanigue, also known as fried Spanish mackerel, is a popular dish in Filipino cuisine. This hearty seafood meal features tanigue steaks seasoned with salt or marinated in citrus juice, then pan-fried until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, tanigue promotes heart health, brain function, and muscle development. It’s also a good source of essential vitamins, such as B12 and D, as well as minerals like selenium. However, frying the fish can increase its calorie and fat content due to the oil used, which may not be ideal for low-fat diets. To make it a healthier option, consider using healthier oils like olive or avocado oil and pairing the dish with fresh vegetables or a light side salad to balance its nutritional profile. Fried Tanigue is a simple yet flavorful dish that celebrates the abundance of fresh seafood in Filipino cooking.
