What it is
Catfish (hito) simmered in the classic adobo sauce of vinegar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), garlic, bay leaf, and black peppercorns until tender. Often pan-fried after simmering to crisp the skin, offering a savory and tangy flavor profile.
Key ingredients
Catfish (hito), vinegar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), garlic, bay leaf, black peppercorns, cooking oil.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar is added to the adobo sauce. Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for lower sodium and potentially cleaner ingredients.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in soy sauce or pre-made adobo mixes. Overconsumption of garlic/onion in large restaurant portions.
