Did you know that mackerel can be used as the
main ingredient in your favorite Pinoy dishes like sinigang, paksiw, and
sarsiado? With its tender and flavorful meat, mackerel is a kitchen staple
that’s both versatile and delicious. And when you choose Mega Mackerel, you're
not just cooking—you’re creating a rich, comforting food that will make every
family meal even more special.
Here are five easy recipes of favorite
Filipino dishes that you probably didn’t know you could make with mackerel:  |
| Mackerel Sinigang |
Mackerel
Sinigang: This dish is a favorite among Filipinos, and
it’s no wonder that pork sinigang is included in TasteAtlas’ “World’s Best
Rated Meat Soups.” It’s a classic on every Filipino dining table, but to give
it a twist and make it even more exciting, try using two cans of Mega Mackerel
in Natural Oil (155g) instead of pork for a flavorful dish. Check out the full
recipe here:megaprimefoods.com.ph/mega-mackerel-sinigang/

| Mackerel Bistek |
Mackerel
Bistek. Bistek is the Filipino version of beef steak,
featuring thinly sliced sirloin simmered in citrus juice, soy sauce, onions,
and garlic. However, beef can be quite expensive. Fortunately, there’s now an
affordable alternative using mackerel. Try replacing sirloin with a can of Mega
Mackerel in Natural Oil (245g). You can also marinate it in a calamansi mixture
for ten minutes, just like you would with beef. For the full recipe, visit: megaprimefoods.com.ph/mega-mackerel-bistek/

| Mackerel Paksiw |
Mackerel
Paksiw. Paksiw is a dish cooked in vinegar. One of the
tastiest dishes to make paksiw with is fish. Milkfish or tuna are often used
for paksiw, but if you’re looking for a new twist on an ordinary dish, mackerel
paksiw is a great choice. Using two cans of Mega Mackerel in Natural Oil, you
can create a delicious and meaty dish for the whole family. Find the easy Mega
Mackerel Paksiw recipe here: instagram.com/megamackerel/p/C6DMe3eRr36/

| Mackerel Sarciado |
Mackerel
Sarciado. Sarciado means that the dish is made
flavorful with a sauce made from tomatoes and eggs. This dish is also popular
for giving new life to leftover fried fish. So if your previous meal was fried
tilapia or dalagang bukid, sarciado is usually the next dish to be served. But
aside from fried fish, you can also make sarciado with mackerel, and it’s even
easier to prepare using one or two cans of Mega Mackerel in Tomato Sauce. Just
follow the usual sarciado cooking method and use Mega Mackerel chunks.

| Mackerel Gata |
Mackerel
Gata. Coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture that
enhances every ingredient. It serves as the base of the sauce, combining
sweetness and richness that flavors the whole dish. Coconut milk pairs
perfectly with fish like mackerel, balancing out the fishy taste. The process
is simple: after draining the Mega Mackerel, simmer it with vinegar, water,
onions, ginger, and garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Add the coconut
milk and stir well, then cook the eggplant and chili. Season with fish sauce
and pepper before serving.
“Mackerel is an incredibly versatile
ingredient. It’s easy to combine with different spices, so you can use Mega
Mackerel in your family’s favorite dishes. Just open one or two cans, and it’s
ready to cook, making your everyday meals more flavorful, satisfying, and
mouthwatering,” added Camacho.
