Method
- Divide the seafood among the grilled, soup, and kilaw-style components before seasoning so each portion stays properly chilled.
- Season the grilling portion with salt, pepper, and calamansi, then grill until lightly charred and cooked through.
- For the soup, simmer fish bones or pieces with ginger, onion, tomato, and water until the broth is savoury.
- Strain if needed, add leafy greens, and season the hot broth simply.
- For a safer home kilaw-style component, use cooked shrimp or fully cooked fish flakes rather than raw seafood.
- Toss the cooked seafood with vinegar or calamansi, onion, ginger, chili, cucumber, and salt shortly before serving.
- Check that every seafood component is properly cooked and that the cold component has remained chilled.
- Serve the three preparations together with rice and separate utensils.
