    Welcome for another taste of Filipino food goodness as we explore one of the perfect go-to Filipino main dishes!

    This recipe is none other than fried fish with salad. This Filipino staple main dish will surely make you put your leg up and use your bare hands when eating. This is a culture only Filipinos and Filipinos at heart will understand!

    Fried fish with salad is not only considered an essential Filipino main dish because it is a part of every traditional Filipino “Kamayan” gathering. “Kamayan” is a communal feast where people eat food served on banana leaves using bare hands. In the Filipino culture, you will know that the food is good when one chooses to ditch utensils and go bare hands eating.

    This savory fried Pangasius fish with fern salad recipe will surely bring you that Filipino vibe to enjoy eating. The secret to this recipe is very simple. First, make sure your ingredients are fresh. Nothing beats fresh fish and fresh green leaves for salads. Second, season the fish properly. Cook the fish until that golden-brown perfection is achieved. Lastly, do not overcook the fern. This will make your salad fresh and crisp. Make it even better with a perfectly mixed sauce combo.

    The Pangasius fish is the variety used for this sumptuous and mouth-watering main dish. It is a soft-fleshed freshwater catfish. It is also known for its power to keep the heart healthy because it is rich in omega-3. This fish dish gives a lot of other health benefits. Aside from it can help increase muscle mass and it can also keep cholesterol levels low.

    The fiddlehead fern or pako (edible fern) on the other hand is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Thus, it provides what other “superfoods” can. It also contains helpful vitamins such as vitamins A and C. Fern does not only help boost your immunity, but it can also make your eyesight better. Fern can also keep you radiant with healthy glowing skin!
