Filipino Kinilaw Na Dulong Recipe Video

Kinilaw na dulong is a fish dish that makes use of silverfish which are locally known as “Dulong”. This is a type of Ceviche wherein fishes or seafood are soaked in a citrus marinade. Citric acid, a weak acid found in citrus fruits, slowly cooks the fish until it is ready for consumption. Other variation of this dish makes use of vinegar. The acetic acid in vinegar cooks the fish the way citric acid does. I used vinegar in our Kinilaw na Tuna recipe.
