Lobo Lobo

What lobo-lobo is to the Ilonggos is called d ulong in most parts of the Philippines. These are tiny silvery fishes often referred to as baby dilis in some places. It is often found in wet markets sold in "cups" or in groceries inside ready to cook styro packaging. And most of the time they often end up either fried as torta or steamed inside banana leaves. Here are two recipes for Lobo-lobo - Torta and Tino-um

Dried Danggit

I love dried danggit and I'm pretty sure, you do too! Now, who doesn't?  It's probably one of the most popular dried fishes together with the many varieties of tuyo/pinaka and balingon/dilis And fried  danggit  is the bomb!  With just vinegar or calamansi as dip or some fresh tomatoes as side dish, it often makes you say "Extra rice, please!". I love the meatier type of danggit wherein you can actually bite some of the dried flesh of the fish. Compared with the thin and smaller ones where in its just it may seem like just dried plastic and often are sharp enough to cut you gums, meatier danggit is a delight in every bite.
