    • Leo says:

      @wolfgang, Sodium phosphate is commercially available as accord powder. It helps bind, retain moisture, and increase shelf life. inquire from spices&foodmix house 411-1349, 742-0826

    I eat almost any fish but am not so fond of tilapia (somehow, the muddy smell it has that’s ever present even when already cooked puts me off). but am fond of the regular embutido, and your recipe seems interesting i’d like to try it! can u please give me a tip to resolve the muddy smell? thanks!

    • JunD says:

      Tilapia that are grown in ponds and feed with commercial pellet does not smell “muddy” – especially those grown in brackish water ponds. You might have bought Tilapia caught from shallow water lake or grown in fish pens thata re not feed well – such that they have eaten a lot of “soemthings” for quite a long time in the muddy water bottom.

    • alma says:

      it’s also called ngo hyong, and can be found in supermarkets. very fragrant!

      buy the tilapia from batangas, not the one from laguna. how to tell the difference? batangas tilapia is dark, almost black, and is sold alive most of the time, while laguna de bay tilapia is whiter.
