Fish Lumpia (Lumpiang Isda)

Fish lumpia or lumpiang isda is a variation of lumpiang shanghai. This dish is not popular in the Philippines due to the belief that fish is not a good substitute for pork. For certain families, however, this is a nutritious substitute and contrary to popular belief has a similar taste to pork. Many types of fish can be used for this recipe such as galungong fish but my preference is yellow fin tuna.The preparation is nevertheless the same as traditional lumpiang shanghai. This recipe is a must try! [hr] [wpsr_facebook][wpsr_pinterest][wpsr_stumbleupon][wpsr_linkedin][printfriendly] [hr] [two_third] [btn color=”orange” target=””]Ingredients:[/btn]
