How to Prepare

Deep-frying (recommended): Thaw, score the fish on both sides, season with salt, and deep-fry in oil at 180°C for 5–7 minutes until golden, crispy, and cooked through — the classic Filipino pritong galunggong that is a timeless household favourite, best served with steamed rice, tomatoes, and bagoong.
Grilling: Marinate in soy sauce, calamansi juice, and garlic, then grill over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until lightly charred and cooked through — a smoky, flavourful preparation beloved across Southeast Asia.
Braising / Paksiw: Simmer in a tangy vinegar, ginger, and garlic broth for 15–20 minutes for a classic Filipino paksiw na galunggong — a comforting, deeply flavourful dish.
Steaming: Steam over boiling water for 10–12 minutes and serve with a light soy and ginger dressing for a clean, healthy preparation.

Serving Suggestions

Galunggong is the heart of Filipino everyday cooking — fry until golden and crispy and serve with steamed white rice, sliced tomatoes, and a side of bagoong (shrimp paste) for the ultimate classic Filipino meal that brings back memories of home. Grill with calamansi and soy sauce for a smoky, tangy preparation, or simmer in a tangy paksiw broth with ginger and vegetables for a comforting, flavourful dish. In other Southeast Asian cuisines, try pan-frying with turmeric and chili for a vibrant, aromatic preparation. A deeply cherished, affordable everyday fish that delivers outstanding flavour at exceptional value.
