Hinanggup

Hinanggup is a Karay-a dish of flaked broiled fish and/or fried dried anchovies, sliced onions, spring onions, tomatoes, and salt simply cooked in boiling water

Hinanggup is a Hiligaynon word which means “Soaked in salt and water” and this is what exactly this dish is, a Karay-a dish of flaked broiled fish and/or fried dried anchovies, sliced onions, spring onions, tomatoes, and salt simply cooked in boiling water, usually served with sinangag or kalo-kalo. It might sound simple but trust me it is one tasty soup dish and in my recipe below I even made it tastier by grilling the bangus belly and catching the dripping and using that to even give it more flavour, finishing it off with a squeeze of lemon gives it a fresh taste.

Simple yet fantastic, cheap but nutritious, you can enjoy it as a viand or an add on to any fried dish, I really love it and I hope you do as well. If you can’t find bangus then you can use the belly of any oily fish like tuna, sea bass or any white fish.
