Kinilaw

Kinilaw is a Filipino appetizer made with raw, cubed fish in a dressing based on vinegar. The appetizer is typically garnished with onions, ginger, chili peppers, and garlic. Fish should be washed in vinegar, not soaked in it, turning the pink flesh into white and slightly opaque in the process.

Although kinilaw is usually consumed as an appetizer before a big meal, it can also be eaten as finger food, when it’s traditionally consumed with alcoholic beverages on the side.
