Hey Liz…naunahan na kita! Had the Salmon Belly and Collar Bistek. Since the salmon was quite huge, I ended up with quite a bit of Barbecued Bistek Salmon…. it made really, realy good Salmon donair (for leftovers). Pita bread….shredded iceberg, sliced tomatoes (from my garden!), cucumbers (from mthe garden too!), caramelized onions, (pulled from my garden too) homemade toamto salsa, homemade ranch dressing (I like it garlicky), homemade tzatsiki, and the salmon! That is our lunch now! I should have barbecued more fillets!

I have a couple pieces of tuna in the freezer and I was just wondering how to cook them. Now I will try your recipe, MM. I remember this bistek, too, with lots of onions. I still have a bootle of calamansi juice in the freezer. Hmm, time to thaw it and use it. Thanks, MM. Incidentally, the Anthony Bourdain in Cebu segment was repeated again the other day on the Travel Channel. I am wondering which one are you? Are you the one with the eyeglasses who was showing Mr. B. around? That must be you. Now every time I open your blog that is the picture of you that come to mind. :>)

Liz…dahil sa gusto ko kumain ng Salmon Bistek, too…I asked my fisherman friend for his Chinook which he caught a few days ago. I can hardly wait…though it is a MAJOR PAIN cleaning the 26 pound Chinook! Then I pulled out a fewof my Kelsae Giant onion bulbs…

Oh, Thelma! If you are into planting onions like Walla Walla…you have to try planting this variety of sweet onions. Given the right conditions, it can grow into a humongous one. I started growing this Kelsae 5 years ago and now, I have majority of the gardeners in the Community garden growing this one now. I bought the seeds at Lindenberg Seeds (a Canadian company) but there are seed companies in the US selling them.
