here in Iloilo, the bilong-bilong (almost) rules the scene second only to bangus i think.

MM, ‘yong bonito looks a bit different from the common Pinoy tulingan. But flavourwise very similar sila. You don’t see bonito a lot in Manila kaya a bit pricier.

The tulingan is quite popular in Batangas… typically grilled, fried or “pinais”. Just a word of caution… make sure the fish is fresh. I found (to my detriment) that I had a really bad allergic reaction to tulingan that was frozen for several days before being served.

The tulingan thing is not a myth. I read an article about that in one issue of COOK Magazine. If not prepared properly, tulingan can cause poisoning or at the worst brain damage.Tulingan is akin to the Japanese death defying delicacy of “butete” or puffer fish.
