My post would be veering towards the “Fear Factor” show. I saw snippets of a contestant eating balut, his team mate was making suggestions that he shoudln’t bite into the balut otherwise he would taste the duck. I found it amusing. I suppose if you are not used to eating balut then you would fear it lalo na when you see it.

Yes, lots of dried fish available in the wet markets I would imagine…

Yeah, I second everybody’s notes, the fish were not properly dried. MM, all dried fish get maggots, especially danggit, the vendors just brush them off every now and then. Oopps, sorry, if you’d rather not have known that, hehe!

I hope this would be a bit of consolation but, I saw a show on T.V. entitled “Fear Factor” a while ago and the contestants had to eat maggots to win $50.000.00 and someone won!

Eeew! Maggots couldn’t be normal when drying fish, right? I mean, flies lay their eggs only on decomposing flesh and the fish should be dried immediately before it has a chance to start decomposition. Granted that the lack of moisture and the salt will eventually kill all bacteria and creepy crawlies, I still won’t eat anything that had maggots growing in it!

the utan you refer to we also call it binas-oy, or bas-oy. goes perfect with dried fish, and some warm steamed rice.

Hukadddd!!! :)

dried fish got maggots because they are not fully dried and the salt put in it to preserve is not enough. So we really have to be very careful in buying dried fish especially if its prepared here in Manila.
