Paksiw na Bangus is the one of the original way of cooking bangus. There are countless ways to cook the bangus just get your imagination and resourcefulness working and you discover a new original bangus dish. In Pangasinan they even have a Dagupan Bangus Festival.

Some people who love fishing have been catching
the fish on their fishing pastime along the cornice road breakwaters here in Abu Dhabi. I can’t explain how bangus have thrived in UAE waters. Bangus is a regular items at fish markets here when they are in season.

On this post it is paksiw na bangus with vegetable. The juices of ampalaya and talong (bitter gourd and eggplant) somehow enhance the paksiw flavor of bangus.
