Sinigang na Isda (Sinigang na Pompano)

Sinigang na Isda is a delicious Filipino fish soup dish. This Sinigang na Pompano is not only easy to make but also a healthy fish dish. Sinigang na Isda in sour broth is an all time Filipino favorite that is simple and quick Filipino dish. 




Sinigang is a sour soup that is flavored with tamarind, calamansi juice or lemon. With this simple Sinigang na Pompano fish I used lemon juice as I don't want to over power the fish flavor. I also added ginger to remove the fishy after taste. Red bell pepper is also used instead of tomato and it turned out really good. Remember, you can use other greens desired like green mustard, spinach or kangkong. Add eggplant or other vegetables you want. 


This Sinigang na Pompano recipe is so easy to make and worth a try. Make it and share with family and friends. Pompano is known as Pampano in French and Palometa in Spanish. It is a mild fish that is rich in taste with firm, white meat that almost melts in your mouth. Pompano is also best when grilled in the oven, grilled in charcoal or fried.
