What is your favorite seafood? As for me, my favorite seafood is fish! On the top of my list is the yellow tail fusilier (dalagang bukid na lapad). One bad thing about this fish is it's smell. But once properly cleaned and prepared, it can give you an unforgettable taste. Just make sure to buy the fresh and fat ones.
Today, I'm sharing a very simple recipe that my grandparents taught me. People in my province usually cook this way. We call it Inasluman, which translates as 'soured' in English. Anyway, if you want a provincial fish soup, here's the perfect recipe for you.
Ingredients:
- 2 heads of yellow tail fusilier
- 2 fresh tomatoes, cut into halves, seeds removed
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 4 stalks of spring onions, snipped into pieces
- 3/4 cup water **
- salt to taste
Procedure:
- Bring the water into boil together with sliced onion and tomatoes.
- Add the fish and cover for 5 minutes.
- When the fish is almost done, stir in spring onion, then add salt to taste.
- Let simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Serve while hot.
* This recipe is good for 2 to 4 people.
** The bigger the size of the fish, the more water is needed to cook it.
