Paksiw na Bangus Recipe

Paksiw na Bangus Recipe also known as Milkfish Stewed in Vinegar is the easiest and most common way of cooking Bangus (Milkfish) in the Philippines. In cooking Paksiw you can also use other fish like tuna, tilapia, galunggong or dalagang bukid if Bangus is not available.

Every time I cooked Paksiw na bangus, I always included vegetables (eggplant or ampalaya),  because the juices of ampalaya and talong (bitter gourd and eggplant) some how enhance the paksiw flavor of bangus.
