MARKET TOUR: Dried Fish a.k.a. "Bulad" or "Buwad"

If you crave for something salty and appetizing, check out these dried fish all the way from Bantayan Island, Cebu.  With $20.00, the Chef was able to get a kilo each of squid and "danggit" (Cebuano's best-loved dried fish -- usually $6/kl in the market), and half a kilo each of fish tocino and "tarorot", another squid species (also at $6/kl market price) .  This is a great buy, I may say, minus the fare to get to the edge of Cebu province and hop to the island itself.

These dried fish are best when crispy-fried! So, if you happen to be sightseeing in Bantayan, make sure not to head back home without these delicacies.
