Sinigang na Isda (Ulo ng Lapu Lapu)

Sinigang na Isda (Ulo ng Lapu Lapu)
Sinigang na Ulo ng Lapu Lapu. Yesterday I went to Abu Dhabi Cooperative Supermarket at Abu Dhabi Mall to buy something for to cook for the dinner and some other items. I was lucky when I reach the fresh fish section I was just in time when the fish monger has just displayed freshly cut fish heads and belly of a medium sized lapu lapu. I bought all of it, about two kilos. These fish heads are what are left from the lapu lapu, where the fillets are sold separate as premium cuts. Pinoys love fish soup, and fish head are best part for fish sinigang. I didn’t waste any time straight to the kitchen in less than 30 minutes dinner of steaming sinigang na ulo ng lapu lapu was ready. I like my sinigang with a lot of leeks or spring onions. Take this one as a cooking tip, it will make a lot of difference. Enjoy!

  4. Hi anonymous,
    Use of ginger will definitely reduce the unwanted fishiness, I have also used it on my other fish recipes. I refrain from using cubes or other similar flavor enhancing products not unless it is really necessary.
