whoaaa.. i love garoupa steamed fish!! bought a fresh one yesterday 1pcs is $10.00 singapore!! quite pricey i’d say!! but can’t resist to get one so i did :) What i did is rub the fish with salt then rinsed, i then slit little slices around the body about 3-4 slices i put ginger on the slit, sprinkle some cilantro, green onions, tomatoes,instead of regular soy sauce i put tempura soy sauce instead, i then added 2 brine salted plums on top of the fish and drizzle it with sesame oil. the outcome is super duper tasting fish :-D

Hi,
I am Henry. I am from Lapulapu island,Cebu. I am into my start of lapulapu farm. Last two weeks ago, I have harvested ~around 500 fishes (0.5 Kilo-1 Kilo, each). I sold it in local restaurants here.

I am into expanded fish cage now, however fishes are still small as of this time. But harvest is only 2-3 months.
There are two types of Lapulapu (local term ‘Pugapo’), 1. Orange color and 2. Dark Brown. The Dark Brown are abundant while Orange color are also available.

I thought we can make business together.
I target to harvest 50 Kilos weekly.

Pls contact me when you like my proposal.mobile: +63929-5487685

Rgds,
Henry

We are looking for suppliers of live red suno or lapulapu from palawan to be delivered in manila airport. I hope you can refer us to some suppliers that you now of in palawan.

We would be very grateful. Thank you and more power.

I really, really enjoyed this write-up. It was very informative in a very funny way. Sweet and sour lapu-lapu has always been my favorite since I was a young child. Unfortunately, here in Vancouver, it’s very hard to find the Rock Cods in the market.

Sadly, Banawe Soybean no longer carries tauso. Went scurrying around the metro last new year’s eve looking for a bottle, to no avail. Anyone knows where I can find it?

Hello from US. I swa the little memorial church for Megellan in Mactan while staying on Cebu. But I preferred the great statue of Lapu on the other side of the round about. Here in Florida there are four major Grouper in the Gulf of Mexico and last year the Government imposed limits for their catch due to over fishing. It is not uncommon now to see Black Grouper for $12.99 per pound. That’s a lot of Peso’s! So naturally I was very pleased to learn it’s abundance in the Philippine waters.
