Fish tocino

One of my favorites, this dried seafood is made from "cured" fish meat which they say is salmonite . Often seen as "red circles" sold in the market, it is always with curiosity that buyers ask what they are and when they do know, they actually buy it for that. Cooking it might be tricky since too - you must have the right heat since too much will burn your cooking (there's sugar in it) and too low, you might not be cooking it at all. But when its perfect, you'll have a dried seafood that's crisp yet meaty and the saltiness complements the sweetness of it being a tocino. Sold mostly in packs  (check out the red ones) that cost around PhP150 more or less, which is great for pasalubong. But you can actually buy these packs by the kilo, just ask the vendors at the market. And I just love having   fish tocino meal for breakfast now, and then. Enjoy!
