Litratong Pinoy: Tanghalian (Lunch)

Wala nang sasarap pa sa tanghaliang hindi lang ikaw ang nagluto kundi ikaw pa ang humuli!



Kahit na masaklap ang katotohanang nagbayad pa kami para lang humuli ng mga tilapiang ito ay ayos na rin. Sa una'y talagang maghihintay ka ng medyo matagal. Idagdag pa na hindi pwedeng malikot kundi'y gagalaw ang pisi sa ilalim ng tubig at lalayo ang mga isda.


Pero tanggal lahat ng pagod at paghihirap kapag nakahuli na. Ang sarap pa ng tawanan at asaran sa kung sinong may pinakamaliit na isda. Kita niyo nga, natalo pa ng aking anak ang kanyang Daddy. Ayun, back to the waters ang isda ng asawa ko. Bata pa kasi. Nasa isang kilo rin ang aming huli, tamang-tamang pananghalian ng lahat.


Tsaraaan! Piniritong Tilapia. Sariwa galing sa Fishing Lagoon ng Eco Village, Pili, Camarines Sur. Masarap na kasalo ng sariwang kamatis at sawsawang toyo at kalamansi. Masiram (masarap) kumbaga sa aming mga Bikolano. Tara, kain na tayo.

Masarap din ba ang tanghalian niyo? Ibahagi mo ito sa amin sa Litratong Pinoy.

Nothing tastes better than lunch that you did not only cook but also caught as well. Never mind the fact that we paid a fee to be able to catch the fish. It was all hard work because you cannot move too much so as not to scare the fish under the water. Nevertheless, it was all worth it. We had so much fun laughing at my husband who caught the smallest fish. We had to throw it back to the water. We fried the fish and served it with fresh tomatoes and soy calamansi dip. This photo was taken on our fishing trip to the Fishing Lagoon of the Eco Village in Pili, Camarines Sur. In Bicolano, we say it's masiram meaning yummy!

Is your lunch masiram, too? Share it with us on Litratong Pinoy.
