    Red face Where to buy dried fish online ...

    I'm so desperate for any type of pinoy dried fish particularly tuyo.. i was just wondering if there's any shop where i could buy it online?

    ...I've seen a few dried fish from Asian shops but they're more likely imported from Pakistan or India. I'm afraid that they won't be as nice as those from the Philippines..

    ..please do let me know in case you know somebody who can send tuyo for me by post and i'm willing to pay all the extra cost

    Have they got online shop?
    ...do you think they'll send dried fish by post as royal mail might do make a complain afterwards because of the smell

    ..wish i could go down to London myself and pick all the pinoy products that i can't find online.. problem solved then hehe!

    thanks Steve!

    Well actually, I've got a pinoy friend who delivers me pinoy products all the time although he hasn't got any dried fish at the moment...

    .. good thing about him is that he offers free delivery himself straight to my house
    .. i've placed an order from pinoyminimall once few years ago and i haven't done it just yet again..

    I'm not so sure about Chinese shops in Manchester if they have dried fish but I love doing my shopping in them shops as they seem to have everything..

    ... i might be able to go get some Chinese shopping again in Manchester soon. Steve!

    I know dried fish really stinks but hehe! it's been 6 years that i've never tasted one so I'm thinking I might have a go

    .. sorry lads but you're so far away where I live so don't worry you won't smell it it's a shame as i wanted to share with you the smell... worse than a FART!

    .. torture to our next door neighbour hehe!
    .. they deserve such a torture as they're scumbags!

    LOL! I lived in Tondo for 6 weeks once. I was woken up gagging every morning at 05:00 by the smell and fumes of it from the shacks a metre across the alleyway. Tastes lovely though

    afraid that i've not experienced the joys of dried fish yet, but i know where i grew up on the north east coast of scotland, nearly every house in the little village we stayed had rows and rows of fish sitting out in the sun drying (that would have been in the mid 1980's) during the summer months. so dried fish must have been a staple food item in the fishing areas of the country. dont see any one doing it now though.

    See Mickey.. you should've tried dried fish few years back. You missed a half of your life. It's like eating the usual fish and chips hehe!

    ... it's an exotic food you see, so for me, it's like seeing a chest full of treasures if i can store a lot of tuyo in the cupboard
