Why I love fishing

I love to eat fish. I can eat fish everyday. I grew up eating fish everyday and I miss it so much. When I migrated here in the USA, there is no way that I can get fresh fish everyday.

Now, with hubby fishing every weekend, I can get fresh fish! He always caught some fish when he goes fishing and it makes me so excited to cook them.

Yesterday, he went fishing again and caught some. I was excited to clean it and cook it with coconut milk.

I cooked this... and I enjoyed eating it too!

Galunggong... Anybody?

I had a great dinner! Why not, when I am eating fish! I can eat fish everyday!

I ate fried galunggong last night with tomato/onion salad at the side. Healthy and yummy!


"Galunggong is an extremely common fish in Philippine waters and markets. Considered the benchmark of locals' well-being, the price of a kilo of galunggong is tracked by the the President and the press in the same way the Big Mac index is used globally. Galunggong or Mackarel Scad (Decapterus macarellus) can grow up to a foot in length and has a dark somewhat oily but tasty flesh."

Fresh Fish

Nothing beats fresh fish..... sweet and yummy!

I can eat fish everyday. Perhaps because fish has always been a part of our daily meal when I was still in the Philippines. Fish is abundant there. I remember that before I moved here in the USA, I lived with my sister Lita. Most mornings (or afternoon), we go to the market to buy fresh fish and vegetables. We only buy meat once in a while.

When I got here, I was disappointed of how limited the choices of fish (most are fillet). I miss the usual fish (whole fish with head). Most of the fish are frozen too.

Anyway, I am lucky today because we went fishing and we were able to catch fish. This is the first time that I will have a fresh fish from our own fishing escapade.


I am happy tonight as I had fried fish and tomato/soysauce for dinner. The fish is really sweet just like the fish that I am used to way back in Pinas.

Note: I know I should have toasted the fish more...but I can't wait....lol
