Maya-Maya Fish Sinigang for the Rainy Season
Sinigang is always a reliable source of comfort once the rainy season sets in. The gloomy weather is no match for a big bowl of sour soup filled with tender protein and colorful veggies. But if you’re already tired of the usual meat choices and want more variety, why not make a version using maya-maya fish?
This recipe highlights the sweetness of maya-maya, the umami goodness of miso, and the peppery bitterness of mustasa in one pot. Maya-maya or red snapper may not be as affordable as bangus or tilapia, but its moist flesh and firm texture make it worth the price. Learn how to cook maya-maya fish sinigang to shoo away those rainy-day blues.
Tips
Have the maya-maya’s scales completely removed because they can give your soup an off-putting fishy aftertaste.
