History of Pinangat

“Pinangat” from Bicol is what “Laing” is to Manila. A southern Luzon, Filipino stewed fish dish usually using either tuna, catfish, or sardine, but typically almost any fish made either of these 2 ways; the soured version which is made up of tamarind, vinegar, santol (cotton fruit) , and or bilimbi (kamias or tree sorrel) , the other way or the Bicol version is prepared with a creamier base due to adding coconut milk. The fishes are simmered at the same time as the aromatics and soup base. Then served while it’s still steaming hot.
