Kinilaw: "raw fish salad"

inilaw is like the renowned Peruvian dish called ceviche. "Kinilaw" or "kilaw" signifies 'eaten new' in Tagalog. It is a crude fish plate of mixed greens served in an acidic juice, generally kalamansi (Filipino lime) and vinegar.

In the Philippines, vinegar is nicknamed "fluid fire" since it prepares the food enough to be processed. All the more strangely, vinegar in the Philippines is delivered by alcoholic aging of coconut water, which is the thing that gives it an acrid sweet flavor.

Much the same as with ceviche, the corrosive from the lime and the vinegar "cooks" the meat. Different fixings as a rule in a kinilaw incorporate garlic, ginger, onion, pepper and stew.
