This is the basic version of sinaing na tulingan. It is a staple dish in Batangas due to the availability of fresh tulingan in the markets. As a kid visiting my cousins in Batangas, we would eat this dish with rice sopped in kapeng barako and a dipping sauce made from tamarind vinegar.

Tulingan is a small to medium sized fish from the tuna family. You can also substitute sliced tuna (or  Tambakol) in this recipe. Since this is a simple recipe, the freshness of the ingredients are critical. Good sinaing na tulingan when cooked right will not fall apart when served.
