Milkfish in Water and Vinegar

Since the implementation of the lockdown/enhanced community quarantine, people are only permitted to go out to buy essentials in limited number and shall bring the pass when going out. During these times, vendors are also creative to fetch sales. Some set up a rolling store bringing closer their merchandise/goods to the village people without the needs of the buyer to go on supermarkets and exposing themselves of the risk to catch up the virus. Few peddles house to house in the likes of fish and other seafoods, as well as fruits and vegetable. I've got a chance to buy a milkfish from a person selling in our area. There were another fish variety but only the milkfish interest me. I cook the fish by just boiling it with vinegar, water, spices and condiments to taste. This will be our lunch for today. I left some slices for frying later.

I like eating milkfish. But I'm not fond of eating fish with soup. Sometimes I fried them after cooked with soup.

@ZedSmart it's delicious especially when the vinegar is too strong.

Rellenong bangus needs time to prepare. I made it simple.

@ZedSmart If someone is caught with no mask, he has to pay a fine.

@marguicha I think it's the same here. You're not also permitted to come inside the shops.

One neighbor here is fond of that which they call Paksiw. What I want is the Pinangat which is a small fish like Tawilis that is cooked only in water, camias and tomatoes.

@ZedSmart that's different but that is more delicious than the pinangat. I like the pinangat though what I don't like is the pinangit, waheehee.

It's the same as paksiw na isda in our locals. It would be better if I did add some eggplant or ampalaya.

Yes, it is. It would be better if I add any.of the eggplant or ampalaya but they're not available.
