Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds (about 7 to 8 pieces) tulingan (bullet tuna)
- rock salt
- ½ pound pork belly
- 1 cup dried kamias (kalamyas or bilimbi)
- ½ cup sukang irok (kaong palm vinegar)
- water
Instructions
- Wipe banana leaves with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Cut into about 2-inch thick strips and set aside.
- Clean the fish by removing the gills and innards. Make a slit in the center on both sides of the fish.
- Soak in a bowl of water for about 20 to 30 minutes to remove any blood. Rinse and drain well.
- Press the fish firmly with the palm of your hands to flatten.
- Generously rub fish with ½ cup rock salt. Wrap part of the body and head with banana leaf.
- In a clay pot, layer the bottom with banana leaves. Add pork belly and ½ cup dried kamias.
- Arrange fish in the pot, alternating positions.
- Add 1 tablespoon rock salt, ½ cup dried kamias, and sukang irok.
- Add enough water to cover fish. Cover with banana leaves.
- Cover with the palayok lid and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and cook on low heat for about 4 to 5 hours or until flesh and bones are very tender, adding water in ½ cup increments if the liquid is drying out.
Notes
- If you wish to remove the fish's tail, twist at a 360-degree angle and pull it off gently. You would know if you did it correctly when a portion of the meat is attached to the tail.
