Anyway, the residents of Malapascua, living on a small island, obviously eat a lot of fish. And it's not the packaged, frozen, and shipped fish that I am used to growing up in the middle of the US. This is fresh as a newborn baby's ass fish. This is fresh as the Prince of Bel-Air fish. This fish is so fresh that it might stand up on my plate, slap me, then run back into the ocean.
It's hard to walk around the island without seeing the finned former residents of the sea drying in the sun, lying in repose in a fisherman's bucket, or basking in curry sauce. What the residents don't eat themselves are sold to the restaurants on the island or taken to Cebu city to be distributed throughout the whole world. So if you want to know where your sardines started their life as a food product, it is in a place like this.
