Banol and the next 2 beaches were packed with tourists last Saturday, so dwife and I had our grilled tulingan, kinilaw na dilis, lato, mangoes, and water melon in an isolated beach in a small island near the skeleton wreck. Love sinaing na tulingan, but it was fantastic last sunday when we ate it in the white sands of Malcapuya island off coron.

@Toping, in Baybay, they also twist and pull the tail off tulingan (mangko). But I haven’t heard the difference between a flat and round tulingan. I love tulingan and I cook it adobo style instead of paksiw — vinegar, salt, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves and oil. I am now in Haikou, China and missing this.

Quillene, I think Emmerson has since sold his boat, so we now use Mang Fredo on recent trips.

wow! this a classic bol-anon way of cooking tulingan. in our hometown we call it mangko….my father used to cook tulingan paksiw(inun-unan) and ate it after one week. the best!

@Toping, thanks for the info, the “tulingan tale” was a mystery that nobody from my hometown was able to answer. But your answer led me to another question; who should do the “twisting” of the tail bone to stop the histamine build up?

MM… no worries… just went back to some of your trip posts and found the contact number of your other bangkero, Fredo… Hope he will be available when we get there. Thanks!

MM, just want to ask if your regular boatman Emmerson still has the same number posted here in your previous posts? Hopefully, a family reunion this year slated in Palawan will materialize. Hope I can have Emmerson take us around.

Thanks much!
