Paksiw is a Filipino style of cooking which means "to cook and simmer in vinegar". I have read somewhere that Paksiw way of cooking or using vinegar was made to preserved foods longer during the old days as people in the rural areas usually don't have refrigerators back then. Cooking food with vinegar reduces the fishy odor and have the least possibility of getting spoiled , that's why if we cook a lot or if we cook something with coconut cream (gata), we usually add a bit of vinegar just so, it won't spoil easily.
I'll b sharing with you my Paksiw na Bangus Recipe and let me know what you think.
