Salted Dried Fish  

Posted by: Licel

It was my breakfast this morning with spicy vinegar, warm rice and egg omelette. Salted dried fish is locally known as tuyo, bulad, or buyad(in my own dialect). It's a common breakfast food in the Philippines and goes well with warm or fried rice, egg omelette and a cup of warm coffee or hot chocolate. There are different varieties of dried fish but one thing most have in common is the strong odor when fried or grilled. I have to admit that the smell of it is a bit stinky but tolerable. My husband didn't think so. This morning, he said something like, Ewww, it smells like poop!!!(over and over again). He opened all the windows, switched on the exhaust fan, ran and locked himself in the bedroom. hahaha! And one more thing, I put the salted dried fish in the cabinet where he normally put his cereal and a box of green tea. So everytime he opened the cabinet to get the cereal, the salted dried fish was the first thing he would see. Actually, my husband said that the first thing he saw was the eyeball looking at him. LOL! When I was looking for it this morning, he said that he moved to another cabinet because it was bothering him. He felt like the fish was staring at him. hahaha! Well, one thing I can say, it smells like a dead rat and make you puke but the taste is delightingly fabulous. Yum! :))
