Binulad kag Dayok

"BINULAD KAG DAYOK" is salted sun-dried fish. In the Philippines, BINULAD KAG DAYOK is usually sold as is, straight from being dried. We usually fry it lightly, before serving. The BINULAD KAG DAYOK I used here is the ready-to-eat kind that's flaked, then packed in olive oil before bottling.

are native foods of the Philippines. People from this land love this as entrees. For Filipino these entrees are taste good. Besides from being taste good these viand are affordable and you don't have to prepare a big budget.

Binulad is refers to a dried fish that dried under the sun. There are two process of drying a fish. ”Binulad sa Initan” is drying a fish from it's natural wet.
”Binulad sa Ulan” is drying a fish from wet of the rain.

Dayok is can be a mixture of different fermented fish intestines or small shrimps that have been pulverized by pounding. Shrimp paste is not only well-known in the Philippines but also in other nation. Shrimp paste is used as ingredient.

Drying a fish and selling dried fish is one of Filipino used to live for. This is the way of life of some Filipinos.

Meanwhile, Dayok is a mixture of different fermented fish intestines (they say intestines of danggit). Its like patis, but THEY say Dayok is better.. Tried it. tastes OK for me. The smell is lighter than patis. Furthermore, they say (again) that dayok is cleaner than patis - the processing and finished product.

But i can’t stand the look of dayok in a bottle.. thinking that its fish intestines. But once its out of the bottle and on the plate, then the dipping starts.
