In Bisaya, this dish is known as kinilaw na dilis or kinilaw na bolinaw. Kinilaw is derived from the word "kilaw" in Visayan terms, which means "eaten raw or fresh, uncooked with heat."
This Filipino kinilaw delicacy is usually served as an appetizer for many, as pulutan, or can be eaten as a main dish. This is similar to cebiche or ceviche in the west. Kinilaw has many variations and can be prepared in different ways by adding extra species to the recipe. Making kinilaw is very easy. The best fish to prepare is tuna. For this recipe, I used dilis (anchovy), which is not expensive but still delicious. If you like Kinilaw, this Kinilaw recipe is worth a try. It is so easy to make and only a few ingredients are needed. If you like coconut milk, or "gata" in Tagalog and "tuno" in Bisayan, you can also add it to give it an extra creamy flavor. It is very common in Bisaya kinilaw version that has added coconut milk. Our simple written instructions are provided below. Just in case you need an instructional video, it is provided below.
