Healthy Ginataang Isda Recipe – Filipino Dish

One of my favorite Filipino dish is Ginataang Isda (Fish cooked with coconut milk thick). I wanted to share my simple healthyway of cooking ginataang isda.

Note: Tuna and Tambakol (yellow fin fish)are the best fish to cook with this recipe.

Nutrition: A good source of omega-3 fatty acids found in Tuna fish beneficial for cardiovascular health. Vitamin B content in fish also helps maintain and build red blood cells and increase energy levels. Coconut milk has many health benefits and one of it is the antioxidants which help the body to hunt and kill hazardous free radicals that can kill the cells of the body over time, leaving you with cancers. Malunggay leaves helps strengthens the immune system.
