Sinigang sa Miso na Maya-Maya and Fried Samaral

I don’t know the good English translation of Sinigang sa Miso na Maya-Maya. I’ll just translate Sinigang sa Miso na Maya-Maya and Samaral word for word:

Sinigang = sour broth

Miso = see this link

Maya-Maya = white/red snapper

Samaral = rabbitfish/ spinefeet
