Alumahan (Long-Jawed Mackerel)
My favorite fish vendor on wheels arrived early this morning. She is selling the freshest fish in town and one of them is "Alumahan"
These mackerel species belong to the same fish family as tunas (family Scombridae). They are widely common in the Philippines and are generally found in shallow coastal waters. The alumahan fish is available in public markets usually priced at Php 280 per kilo. Luckily, i dont have to go to the market anymore because Manang is here to the rescue.
Manang " which means older sister is how i call my fave fish vendor and she always have a special offer when you buy her fish. She cleans the fish, takes away the scales, the gills and the innards of the fish and she dies this for free! All you have to do when she hands over the fish is to fry it !
Best eaten with hot rice. Alumahan fish is the best. Try it. Only in the Philippines.
sarap sabawin yan kasi presko talaga, pero masarap din sa prito pag presko..
280? Medyo may kamahalan kompara po dito sa leyte banda.
Mahal nga dito sa manila
That sounds like an awesome woman! I love helping the people out like that. They give you great service because they appreciate you buying from them and you are helping someone stay in business. Thanks for that!
That fish does look good, it’s been a while since I’ve had fresh fish. My dad goes fishing and cooked up some fantastic Black Sea bass (off the American east coast, not the Black Sea in Europe lol) and flounder. Was so good on the grill with a little salt and pepper.
Wow that sea bass sounds delicious. Ive been helping this woman eversince the lockdown started in the Philippines. She is so nice & friendly. Always bringing to me the freshest catch of the day.
