Cebuano's Favorite: Kinilaw



KINILAW


This is my Cebuano uncle favorite, the kinilaw. The word “kinilaw” is derived from the bisaya term “kilaw” which means “eaten fresh”. The fishermen back then (and even till now) would fillet their fresh catch and would just deep it in sea water before eating it.As far as my research went this is an Original Visayan dish and probably originated somewhere in the Island of Samar or that of Leyte, basing on the ingredients that are used and the folklore behind it.
