Hunger among Filipinos reaching record levels - SWS

[aposhark]

Why IS that? ... in a country so richly-endowed with natural resources, it seems !

Hi Arthur,
I get the feeling that a lot of fish are not smoked and dried out there also.
I could be thinking out of my depth here but I did ask my wife some months ago if the people on her island smoked the fish when in abundance.
She said she had never seen this happen.

I was watching the "Coast" TV programme and it showed how the "Arbroath Smokie" (not a million miles from you) was made. I said "look dear, there are simple ways to make fish last longer".
I have seen many people in a lot of countries smoke fish, but not in the Philippines.
Does anyone know more about this?

Yes we have and I love it. In tagalog we called it tinapa.

I have noticed that you have herring fish and delicious mackerels here and I would like to try to make some maybe in summer. I saw a small square tool at fishing gear store where I can make smoke fish using it. In the Philippines, we use bamboo steamer.
