Danggit The Pride Of Cebu








One of the best that even Filipinos who stays abroad asks a friend or a relative to be sent one is Cebu's pride Danggit. It is a salted dried fish that's best paired with hot rice and dipped in vinegar. Others like a combination of vinegar and crushed chili peppers with a splash of salt. Others may need to feature a little bit a lot of of spices to reinforce the flavour. Onions, garlics, ginger are a number of favorites when it's done, the tastiness of danggit is magnified 10 times when there is vinegar around. However with or without it, folks still notice them a really tasty treat for any meal at any time of the day and at any wholeness - that's to mention, whether or not one is hungry or not.

And where can one get the tastiest  Danggit in Cebu? Buyers needed to head over in Tabo-an Market. Some locals say that there are danggit in different markets however the Cebu Tabo-an Market encompasses a lot of varied choices. From the famous Danggit, there are different dried foodstuffs like dried posit (squids), dried shrimps, fish tocino, fish tapa, and dried fish bones, yes fish bones style that is!

And these odoriferous Danggit of Cebu and different dried goodies aren’t simply displayed at the Tabo-an Market in boxes like apples or oranges. Packs and Crates of this dried fishes for you to feast upon. The scene may be a feast for the eyes. The various colours of the fishes look rather yummy. That red-tinted fish tocino mixes well enough with the whitish fish bones, the orange coloured dried shrimps side-by-side with the brown danggit.

Dubbed as a poor man's food like several different varieties of dried fish, wealthy and poor alike likes to eat this typical Cebuano delicacy. For the final word danggit expertise, eat along with your own hands. Eating in own hands is a typical Filipino way of showing humility. However setting humility aside, spoon and fork provides very little help when eating danggit. If at all, it solely makes the eating troublesome. Setting aside utensils and doing it simply with the hands is something to relish a decent meal of a bunch of fine ol' danggit.
