Grilled fish is got to be the most common recipe Filipinos do with fish. It is served with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, kalamansi juice, chili peppers, and onions. One American client asked me to bring him to a Filipino restaurant, and he ordered grilled pompano. It was too late when he realized that the grilled fish is served in whole, not fillet. He turned green when he saw the fish with head and eyeballs that he said were staring at him! And imagine his expression when I told him that fish head is the tastiest part, and that most Filipinos eat fish brains and eyeballs. :DYou wonder what this thing in the second photo? It’s not sausage...it’s my favorite part---we call it bihod in Ilonggo, or fish roe. Whenever I eat bihod, I would remember my childhood in Negros where my siblings and I would fight over a piece of bihod. Since there’s only one bihod in a large fish (usually from fish locals call alibalay and gingaw or red snapper), my grandmother would slice it in small parts so each of us have a piece. Tuna bihod is available at the Seaside Market along Macapagal Highway.

I love fish roe, but no this big! Usually the ones you find in small isda. I am sure masarap to.
I never knew that the bihod can grow that big! Hindi ba pang shark yan... hehehe!

do you ever see your clients again? ;-)
yes... I started blogging again...
Do you fry or grill fish roe? What kind of sauce do you dip it in?
@ jayashkal: it has a rich flavor...masarap talaga.:D
@ clicking away: lol di naman from shark. pag malaki ang isda, malaki din ang bihod.
@ agent: the last time i was at the seaside market, bihod is P250 per kilo---tuna bihod.
@ webradio: come on over!:D
@ gizelle: pag-uwi mo, treat kita sa seaside.:D wag muna next week ha, para mapag-ipunan ko.:D
@ dong: masarap talaga. but it's said to be rich in cholesterol. di pwede sa mga may high blood pressure.
@ spices: thanks for dropping by, ces.
Thank You... I close my eyes, and I come...
Smile for You...
