Tawilis, scientifically known as *Sardinella tawilis*, is a freshwater sardine found exclusively in Taal Lake, Philippines, making it a staple of Philippine cuisine. This unique fish is an excellent source of lean protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and overall vitality. Tawilis is also rich in vitamins B12 and D, as well as minerals like calcium and phosphorus, vital for bone health and energy production. Traditionally enjoyed grilled, fried, or pickled, it embodies a balance of flavor and nutrition. However, being fried or served with salty condiments may raise its sodium and fat content, so moderation is key. Tawilis is a sustainable seafood choice when sourced responsibly, reflecting both its regional significance and nutritional value for a balanced diet.
