Marketman, i’m happy to see new blogs in your site. I thought you planned to stop writing for a while so i also stopped checking. Then I thought i would just read the old blogs much to my surprise… great to be reading your stories again!

Hammour is the lapu-lapu of the Arabian (or Persian, depending on which side of the gulf you live :-)) Gulf. It is way way better tasting than our lapu-lapu in the Philippines. They used to grow upto 30 kilos each (and very cheap) when I first came to Saudi Arabia. However, due to overfishing they are pretty rare and very expensive nowadays. When I first came to Saudi Arabia, the head is given free of charge,,, think about sinigang … heaven! But now everything is sold, including the guts i reckon, hehehe.

roland, thanks for that link. phil, APAHAP is now FARMED in Mindanao, and available frozen in several manila locations. I believe the Sarangani brand company better known for bangus also markets the apahap. They have an office on Pasong Tamo Extension, in Makati where I suppose they would know where the retail outlets are. The apahap they freeze are quite small, but still nice. kitch, Seaside market in Baclaran for me is the best place to shop for fish, but Farmer’s market in QC is pretty good too. stella, yes, I do like that fish site… kurzhaar, thanks for that interesting link as well. Angela, sorry, I am not familiar with Hammou…

MM, thanks for another good post. You mentioned about APAHAP. It was decades ago since I last enjoyed one. I can no longer find it in our wet markets in Bataan. I really don’t know the reason except perhaps, like many of our other fish species, it’s already near extinction, sadly. Will really appreciate it if you can kindly give tips on where the fish might be available in Metro Manila or nearby provinces? Many thanks.

Where is the best place to buy fresh fish (snapper or lau-lapu) here in metro manila?

It took a while for me to get corresponding fish names from different places for one fish species, but this website really helped:

fried neurons, as a general rule you should avoid buying grouper in the US–it is not a sustainable fishery and there are many other species that are a better choice. Check out the suggestions (and detailed explanations of fishery status for each species) for your part of the country at the Monterey Aquarium’s “Seafood Watch” project: https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/seafoodwatch.aspx
