Pinangat na Isda (Philippine poached fish)

In a large pot, arrange the fish.

Add tomatoes and kamias (if using)

Add garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and fish sauce (if using)

Cover with water (I used a bit too much in the picture). Bring to a boil at medium heat. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer for 2030 minutes or until the tomatoes, kamias, and onions are soft and have given up their flavour.

Serve with steamed rice and fish sauce with labuyo chilli for dipping.
