Ginataang isda is a more generalized name meaning "fish in coconut milk". It is more common, however, to name the dish based on the type of fish used. The typical fish used in ginataang isda include: ginataang tilapia (), [2] ginataang tambakol (yellowfin tuna), [3] ginataang galunggong (blackfin scad), [4] and ginataang tulingan (skipjack tuna).
Ginataang Tilapia or Ginataang Isda is one of these variations. The tilapia is boiled under the katang gata (coconut cream) [20] and vinegar, and mixed with siling labuyo, onion and garlic. The dish differentiates from the Bicol express Tilapia as there is vinegar added into the Ginataang to provide it a more sour flavour. [21]
