the smaller dapa ( 4-5 inches in lenght) is much tender and tastier than large ones. cooked whole as sinuam sa dahong sili or paksiw (lots of garlic and a tbsp of oil) , it goes very well with steamed rice and patis. tinganing-nganing…… memories of Nanay and childhood.

hi mr. mm. i should have read this blog before the christmas of 2008. i bought dapa at shopwise alabang and had it filleted. not a good place to shop for fresh fish but its last minute shopping for christmas eve dinner. anyways, i made a casserole with cream and mushroom. i must admit, it was a disappointing dish. it still smelled very fishy even if i’ve marinated it in lemon juice, pepper and salt. hay naku, i should have paid attention to my mom’s cooking when i was younger… thanks anyway for the post, i’ll give dapa another try, and maybe, buy from a real fresh market.

Hahahahaha MM…I was laughing at your comment about the left and right sided eyes. I was always familiar with these since my Mom would buy them when I was young(haaaayyyy sooolong ago) and they always fascinated me. I just didn’t know there was right and left. Such a laugh.I love your post!!!!
Yeah,wonder if we stayed on our tummy…if our eyes would all go to the right…or left.Harhar harr…
