Instructions
- Immerse the tanigue fish in vinegar. Mix them well; as if to allow the acetic acid to cook the fish.
No need to marinate the fish for long minutes. Too much acetic acid will only make the fish meats tough rather than soft.
Also, wash the fish in vinegar just once. Don't over-kill the fish with vinegar or lime. They-will-be-cooked-promise! The secret in making good kinilaw is buying fresh meats. That's it.
