Filipino cuisine is seriously underrated but it is stuff like this and people like francesca and her insightful knowledge of the culture that will help give Filipino food the a bigger audience.

[@nikosfilipino]

I would disagree. In recent years Filipino food has been super hype, and even before that Filipino food on the west coast has been big since there's so many freakin pinoys out here. Was it as hyped as japanese or korean food, nah. It's just that now, more pinoy chefs are embracing their culture and entering into the fusion realm. Also idk about everyone else but i grew up eating Salmon belly and head sinigang so this place is definitely not some rare, different than everyone else place.

[@longmaga19]

It's not underrated, it's just not good. Filipino food are bland with terrible combination of ingredients and seasons. I live with my Filipino girlfriend and her mom, and I never eat their cooking nor I ever enjoyed eating in Filipino restaurants. They need some serious culinary schools in the Philippines and redo all their dishes. They are way behind when compare to South East Asian food like Thai, Cambodian, and Vietnamese.

If foreigners can eat things like Tom Yum Goong and that abhorrent Chinese sour soup that is so prevalent, then they can eat Sinigang.

I just ate here last week on mu lunch break. Atey lei calls me Tisoy. I have no clue what it means. Haha. I gotta say, the soup broth is hameyzing.

[@michaellacostales5585]

Tisoy is an informal demonym for the spanish word "mestizo" which is how we refer to FIlipinos of mixed ancestry (usually spanish). For some weird reason, some Filipinos use the word to refer to any white person.

[@murilocruz7752]

Sometimes, when you're called Tisoy, that also means that they find you handsome :)

[@renellevillareal2255]

@@michaellacostales5585 I never knew it was another term for Filipinos with Spanish ancestry! I thought it was always any Filipino who had fairer skin. Tisoy or tisay haha

[@syd.a.m]

@@renellevillareal2255 It's a diminutive of the words mestizo (male) and mestiza (female). Mestizo = tisoy, mestiza = tisay.

[@toysmostwanted]

[@redfullmoon]

What I particularly like about this episode is that it features the best of Filipino-American food while highlighting the Filipino-ness of the culinary style and flavors. For example salmon collar, it's actually not that easy to find in the Philippines compared to salmon heads or salmon belly, but the preparation here is exactly how we would have done it in the Philippines so the ingredient is very Pacific Northwest but the method is so Filipino. I'm glad Eater highligted this because in the Bad Saint episode, Eater highlighted the soft shell crab (not Filipino) in the byline, rather than the aligue (crab tomalley or crab fat) which the Fil-Am chef himself highlighted in the video as the key Filipino ingredient in the dish.

Grilled Salmon Collar is even better. If you have the chance to go to Davao, Philippines, you MUST get it. You can also have sinigang with miso paste. It makes the soup white and has a unique smell and taste. Try it once. It also negates some of the sourness.

[@janmichaelsantos4055]

We fry the salmon collar or belly and eat it with the sinigang sa miso.

[@herminiasmith1357]

So glad to see you are still open at Pike's Place. There used to be several Filipino farmers in the area selling their produce way back in the 1960s when I first arrived in Seattle, but now lives across the country. My aunt and cousins had been there with my aunt's husband a member of the Manong Generation or among the earlier Filipinos there who settled back in 1929.. But I remember there were farm owners who grew strawberries, raspberries and other vegetables. I'll come and have some of sinigang and fried salmon collar when I visit my daughter who lives there. MABUHAY to you and your store. Happy cooking Filipino dishes!

I remember back in the late 80's when we first moved and settled in Seattle (well, Bellevue to be exact), salmon collars and bellies were free and the fish vendors were just very glad to give it away. My wife and I together with our young kids would travel there on a weekend and get some of those for our sinigang and paksiw. Then the Vietnamese came and started buying the stuff in bulk and from that day on, nothing was free :(

we sell Sinigang na Salmon (Salmon stew) in our "Karinderya" (filipino street restaurant). Sinigang using Salmon is kind of uncommon because filipinos usually use pork when cooking Sinigang. my mom was just experimenting on the menu when she tries to sell it just for one day. but later that day the locals who ate started saying compliments about the Sinigang na salmon and that they will come back tomorrow to eat sinigang na salmon again.Now it has been our best seller, and our restaurant became known all through the village for our Sinigang na salmon.
