Here in Bataan, Most especially in unique Barangay of Pto. RIvas, Balanga,the fish were dried 1 meter above ground using layers of bamboo. It is directly sundried right beside the seashore where this fresh fish were salted and laid just in a couple of hours. It is 1 day dried and then ready for shipment. We assure that our products were clean.. free from cooties, doggies and catties!
In fact, one entrepreneur here is shipping here products in as far as California, joining food trades there and encouraging buyer to visit our very own Balanga.. the Dried Fish Village .. the capital of Bataan…
Food preparation really matters… That is why we value the health of our customers. At least they got sick because of overeating not because of cooties infection.

not all dried fish vendors do the same as this guys do. In our province (catanduanes) we really do wash/clean them good, watch over them while they are dried…

Hello everyone, I am looking to buy dried fish and have it sent to the US, do you know anyone who can sell me some? I would like it without bones, cut in strips, skin is ok, little or no salt if possible. You can text me on 14804528189 or email smartaffair@yahoo.com with subject line saying ‘Dried Fish”. Thank you!

You did !!!! That’s wonderful….I love fresh Bombay Duck Curry with Fresh Cilantro leaves, green chillies, garlic and ginger and cumin all ground to a fine paste.

I also love fresh Bombay Duck coated with Semolina and shallow fried.

But my best Pulutan is Dried Bombay Duck fried to a crisp inside a bed of Charcoal embers and drizzled with Coconut Oil.

I guess its a favourite of the Tsinoys too.

haha… this post is funny… reminds me of eating home cooked fishballs with homemade sauce. It just tastes different than those from the street vendors where some wicked customers double dip their fishballs into the sauce. hahahaha

Just like what they always say, mas masarap ang madumi… lol…

I even eat at those pares stalls here in makati after or before work. If you’re familiar with it, we, call center agents call it mura na madumi pa… hahaha

egad! I remembered your old post about dried fish with maggots. Good thing I don’t like dried fish. Although I think extensive exposure to sunlight and all that salt would’ve killed the cooties.

Jack, how bizarre, I think I just saw one the other day, will do a post on it. Locals refer to it as a “lizard fish” in native dialect…
