    1. You can try green mango or calamansi. I've tried it a lot of times and it was good. Just don't forget to sprinkle "sinigang mix" (tamarind soup base) on top of the fish before cooking.

  4. Try fresh tamarind, sampalok usualy available in Indian vegetable stores in UAE. Dried or frozen kamias are also available in Asian store or at Al Maya's supermarket in UAE, otherwise use sampalok sinigang mix.Goodluck

  9. Nice cooking! I live in Ilocos but I cook this recipe frequently. I learned it from my hipag in Paranaque then improvised. What I do is arrange them properly then pressure-cook it for at least an hour, open the cooker then boil it some more until the sauce is just enough to "moisturize" the fish. You will see richer, tastier sauce and no more fish bones. You eat everything :D
