A bright and refreshing dish that celebrates the abundance of the seas surrounding the Philippines.
Marinating fresh tuna in spiced coconut vinegar quickly “cooks” the fish while also lending the dish background heat and allium aroma.Kinilaw is a bright and tangy dish of raw fish marinated in vinegar that’s indigenous to the Philippines; you can think of it as a kind of ancient Filipino ceviche, one that celebrates the abundance of the seas surrounding the Philippine islands.
Both the dish and the marinating process, known as kilaw , are at least a thousand years old—Spanish explorers mentioned kilaw in texts dating back to 1613. Although kinilaw is quite similar in style and preparation to Central and South American, it uses vinegar rather than citrus juice as the primary acidic agent to denature, or quickly cook, the protein in fish flesh.
At its most basic, kinilaw is cubed raw fish tossed with vinegar—usually coconut or cane vinegar—and the flesh of a sour fruit like green mangoes and/or the juice of citrus fruit like calamansi or dayap, known in the US as key limes. The grated flesh of tabon-tabon, a bitter, brown fruit, and the bark scrapings of mangrove trees, which are also quite bitter, are sometimes added to offer a counterpoint to the dish’s punchy acidity.
My version of this recipe is based on the one I learned while growing up in Iloilo, a province in the centrally-located Visayas region. Back then, we’d make our own coconut vinegar and let it steep with onions, ginger, garlic, black pepper, and chiles to make spiced vinegar known as sinamak. For the sake of convenience, and to accomplish what previously took us weeks, I now buyat my local Filipino market.
