The best Inihaw na Tilapia with saw sawan

Inihaw na tilapia, also known as grilled tilapia, is a common dish in the Philippines. This tilapia dish is very basic; it is made with the fish tilapia, salt, and pepper to taste, with no spices added. Inihaw na tilapia has many methods to prepare, but this recipe will show you the quick and simplest way to cook. Inihaw na Tilapia is best eaten warm with a pair of warm white rice. You can serve the fish alone or with a dip sauce of toyomansi, a soy sauce with calamansi, and add red chili for a spicy taste if desired. This can be served as a main dish, or “pulutan,” paired with cold beverages. By the way, I usually grill tilapia using hot charcoal; it tastes better, but it depends on your preferences.
