Oh this is yum…I used to seldom eat this because my partner is not into fish and I am not a skilled fish deboner (nor do I have the patience). Now I just use boneless bangus for this…or fish fillets in the market. Not as tasty, but masarap na rin.

Just a side note, in Zamboanga, my mother would call a dish paksiw if it’s just water, vinegar, ginger, onions and peppercorns and chili. It’s pinangat if it has the same components of paksiw but with vegetables like okra, ampalaya or talong. It’s un-unan if you take the components of paksiw and cook it in banana leaf pockets.

mikel, I just checked our stockpile of incredibly healthy snacks in the pantry and these are the results for potato chips:
1. V-cut potato chips with spicy barbecue flavor by Jack&Jill, has MSG
2. Lay’s classic potato chips – NO MSG
3. Lay’s salt & vinegar chips – NO MSG
And for tortilla chips
1. Tostitos Restaurant Style Chips – NO MSG

Considering that in North America, Lay’s and Tostitos are among the largest manufacturers of chips, I would say it is safe to say that not all and possibly not even a majority of potato chips necessarily have MSG…

am a voracious consumer of chips so i can attest that those made i’ve had in the us, france, italy, germany, japan, hk etc in fact have msg. of course, exceptions would be the artisinal, all natural brands. but i don’t see the point in paying extra..

Not all potato chips have msg. I should know, I’m the msg-police :). The stuff triggers my migraine so I always scrutinize the ingredients. Getting a migraine after eating in a particular restaurant puts that eating place in my “avoid at all costs” list. I’m just glad common migraine triggers such as cheese never seem to affect me.

isn’t that pinangat and paksiw different? Paksiw requires vinegar different from pinangat which requires water patis tomatoes and drops of oil, but just the same we use different kinds of fish on both viands sapsap, bangus ayungin and the likes. both good on plain rice but better on Garlic Fried Rice.

This is one of my all time favorite dish… in bacolod it’s called pinaksiw or pinamalhan… i remeber it being cooked with bilimbi fruit or in ilonggo eba.

I still cook this in ny, although I’ve never seen sapsap fish.. I usually substitute red snapper. i’ve also updated the recipe by incorporating diff. kind of vinegars. equal portion of apple cider, white vinegar,splash of red wine & rice wine. Olive oil and jalapeno (whole) peppers,Garlic, onions, bilimbi, and ginger.1/4 cup of water.salt n pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil then simmer, when the fish is cooked, remove and set aside, continue to cook at med high heat for the remaining sauce till thickened. add the fish back, cover and cook for 2 mins more.
