Tips:

•You can use the Tamarind Mix (Sinigang Mix)found in Asian markets to save you the hassle of extracting the tamarind juice. Make sure to taste the dish first before adding any fish sauce because tamarind mixes are already seasoned with salt.
•Milkfish is the usual kind of fish used for this dish, but you can substitute any white meat fish or any fish of your choice.
