tuyo (salted dried herring)
while walking at a local market i saw this bunch of fish being dried under the sun. these are Tuyo, which refers to salted dried fish (usually herring); this is also known as stockfish in some countries. In the Philippines, tuyo is considered as a poor mans food because of its cheap price – however, this connotation has been expunged over the years since people of different social status learned to love and enjoy it. This can be justified by the different recipes involving tuyo; these ranges from fried tuyo to gourmet pasta with tuyo.
when overseas you can tell when filipinos are cooking tuyo because of the pungent aroma it exudes. for most filipinos the tuyo is a comfort food and best served together with garlic fried rice.
