Seaweed (lato) salad

I enjoy sprinkling a bit of anchovy sauce (bagoong balayan, tama ba?) and calamansi on the lato, then eating it right away. Oh wow, that is sooooo good!

I like lato, specially with “kilawin na isda”. I hope you post about making a special “kilawin na isda”. Thanks in advance.

I like lato. It is a famous delicacy here in Dipolog City.

Hi.

Lato salad goes well with lechon and so does guso, the other type of seaweed. I don’t know what’s it called in Tagalog though.

Anyway, I’ve always loved seafood since I was a kid and this is one of them. We used to eat them on Sundays when we have lechon or grilled pork or even fried or grilled fish. That combination is just priceless. Hmmmm, it makes my mouth watery

I’ll put it on my list as one of the foods that I’m gonna eat when we visit my folks next month. Can hardly wait!

Thanks.

Toni, me « not very knowledgeable about bagoong. I’m allergic to it, hehehe

Ian, link to recipe for kilawin na tuna.

Hello Vickoy. First time here?

Laurel, what does guso look like?

Oh wow! My Lola used to eat that all the time. I have never tried it. I was just a kid when we lived in Manila but living in Japan for a few years thought me how to eat and try all different kinds of stuff. Course now, I cannot find that around here to try. Thanks for the memories, though.

lato is also best eaten with shredded green mangoes. too bad, ur allergic to bagoong, sarap pa naman ito with lato! yum!

I only get to eat lato when hubby & I go to his hometown, fresh na fresh. Between the two of us we can finish a SUPER BIG bowl of lato salad. hehe

I manage to get some lato from Dampa sa Libis - it’s not the same as the kind I used to eat in Palawan. And you’re right about the dehydration - I dip it quickly then plop it into my mouth That and grilled fish…mmmm…

lato is how they call it in the visayas, like my waray father does (and some mindanao parts, i think) my ilocano mom calls it ar-arosep and quickly mixes it with chopped tomatoes. hubby likes to pour a bit of soy sauce in it. saraaap!

It’s so mouth watering! I tried looking for this at Asian stores here but they don’t seem to sell this yummy seaweed. Thanks for posting!

You are welcome, Dot. Cooking can be so nostalgic.

Tara, my allergy is so bad I learned to cook pinakbet without bagoong. LOL

Dean, at the Antipolo public market, they have at least 3 varieties of lato everyday.

farrah, yep, soy sauce is great with lato!

You’re welcome, shae.

i want to yhave an information about the guso ok

lato is good when you dip it with kalamansi juice before eating it…don’t combine it with the lato…kalamansi juice is a dipping sauce for it…;p yumyum
