Whenever I get to visit the Bicol region or have a family member coming from that area, Taba is one must bring and buy item.
This dried fish used to cost P100 to P120 a kilo 4 to 5 years ago. When I was in Iriga City last week, I found out that this now cost P280 a kilo.
Taba means meat as the fish bones were already removed in its preparation. No need to use oil when cooking it and best to dip with spicy vinegar. The ones I get to purchase were often sourced from Balatan, Camarines Sur.
I just love this!
