Sinaing na Tulingan, is what people from the province of Batangas call this dish and is usually steamed in a clay pot. The ingredients are simple yet it should take proper cleaning as it can cause an allergic reaction. It is best to let your fish monger clean them before cooking.

Ingredients:
    1 kilo of Tuna Mackerel
    1 whole banana leaf
    5-6 pcs dried Bilimbi (Kamias)
    2 slices of Ginger
    1 tspn. black peppercorns
    1/2 cup vinegar
    2 tblspns course salt
    1 cup of water

Massage the mackerels with salt to loosen the bones. Wrap the fish with a strip of banana leaf covering the head so it won't fall off when cooking. Place the rest of the ingredients at the bottom of a crockpot and fill with water covering the fish. Set the crockpot on high heat until boiling point, then set it to low. Cook for 4 hours, then serve.
