Adobong Gigi
Soy Mackerel
Adobong galunggong – Phlippine mackerel braised in soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic.
I miss Adobong galunggong, a popular and favorite Filipino dish. It’s fish braised in soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic. It’s something we used to have weekly. Both words are iconic in the Philippines – adobo & galunggong …
The closest fish I can get here in Madrid for this recipe is the caballa or the Atlantic Mackerel. Well, at least it is a mackerel.

Garnish with pimientos del piquillo & drizzle with extra-virgin olive oli. As always served with steamed rice. Goes well with beer.
Happy cooking & kain na! (now you know how to say “Eat Well” in Tagalog)
