Paksiw fish is a traditional Filipino dish that highlights the bold flavors of vinegar and garlic. Made by simmering fish—commonly bangus (milkfish) or tilapia—in vinegar, water, garlic, ginger, and optional ingredients like eggplant or bitter melon, it offers a tangy yet savory profile. This cooking method both preserves the fish and enhances its natural taste. Paksiw is a low-fat dish rich in protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients from the fish, making it heart-healthy and beneficial for muscle maintenance. Additionally, vinegar may support digestion and help lower blood sugar levels. However, its sodium content can vary depending on the recipe and added condiments, such as soy sauce, so moderation is key for those monitoring their salt intake. Paksiw fish is a flavorful, nutritious choice that represents an enduring staple in Filipino cuisine.
