When I was young, Tatay used to fish in the river few miles away from our home. He caught tilapia all the time.... very small tilapia though. It would be a lucky day if he would caught as big as my three fingers combined. I remember those days, on how we would divide the bigger tilapia.
Looking at the tilapia in the grocery store, which weighs more than a pound each, it makes me smile remembering the old days and the story of tatay's fishing.
Anyway, I cooked tilapia in coconut milk which both Andrea and myself enjoyed eating. I tried to feed Andrea as much Filipino food as I can that way she will be used to it, that way I have somebody to eat with my filipino dishes.
Ingredients:
2pc tilapia ( cut in half)
2pc tilapia ( cut in half)
half can coconut milk
salt
vinegar
black pepper
garlic
onion
ginger
red tomatoes (cut in wedges)
Directions:
Clean the fish thoroughly and put in a cooking pan. Add tomatoes, garlic, onion, ginger, vinegar and coconut milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to boil. Simmer until fish is cooked. 
Serve.
