How to Make Kinilaw Na Tanigue Filipino Version Of Ceviche

  1. Clean and fillet 1 pound of fresh tanigue. Cut the fish into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  2. In a glass or ceramic bowl, gently toss the tanigue with 1/2 cup white vinegar. Ensure the fish is fully coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. (Do not marinate longer, as it could make the fish tough.)
  4. While the fish marinates, prepare the remaining ingredients: finely chop 1/2 cup red onion, 1/4 cup finely diced ginger, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1-2 red chilies, thinly sliced (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed calamansi or lime juice.
  5. After marinating, gently drain the excess vinegar from the tanigue.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the drained tanigue, red onion, ginger, cilantro, chilies, and calamansi/lime juice. Gently toss to combine.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more calamansi/lime juice for extra tartness or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  8. Serve immediately chilled, garnished with extra cilantro sprigs if desired.
