Crispy tawilis is a delightful dish to experience! Tawilis is a small freshwater fish endemic to the Philippines, particularly found in Taal Lake in Batangas. The fish is known for its delicate flavor and tender texture.

To prepare crispy tawilis, the fish is usually coated in a light batter or flour mixture and then deep-fried until it becomes crispy and golden brown. The result is a dish that is both crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

When you take a bite of crispy tawilis, you'll first notice the satisfying crunch of the crispy coating. As you continue to chew, you'll taste the mild and slightly sweet flavor of the fish. The combination of the crispy texture and the delicate taste of the tawilis creates a wonderful contrast that is truly enjoyable.

Crispy tawilis is often served as an appetizer or as a main dish accompanied by steamed rice and dipping sauces like vinegar or soy sauce with calamansi. It's a popular dish in restaurants and eateries near Taal Lake and in the surrounding areas.

If you have the opportunity to try crispy tawilis, I highly recommend it! It's a unique and delicious culinary experience that showcases the flavors of the Philippines. Enjoy!
