Fried Hasa Hasa


Hasa hasa is a "short-bodied mackerel", as per this site.

Who would've thunk it: we can actually put up a post that's not at all wordy! ;D

Fried fish is the best!

All it needs is toyomansi, a condiment with "toyo" (soy sauce) and "calamansi". Of course, sinamak (chile-infused vinegar) would also work. Eaten with rice, of course.

And of course, I eat these heads too!

  3. (By the way Dhanggit, is dhanggit your favorite? ;)
    Anyway: I love how JS is all about the head-eating :P I'm not a big fan of bone-eating (hurts me throat) but fish with toyomansi is definitely the best way to go :)

  4. You're right - fried fish is the best. I think I like mackerel when it's just cooked in a sauce. I'm really sure that if it's fried it's gotta be like 10 times better - right?

  5. Fried fish is also good with kamatis and patis. Yum!!!

    Your fried fish looks so crispy golden brown. When I do fried fish, it turns black first before it gets crispy. I think I have the stove heat way too high.

  6. Your fried fish looks wonderful.

    I seldom fry fish as I don't like the lingering smell in the house but yours make the effort worth while.

  10. I remember all those other fried fish we love: pampano (pompano), that espada fish ("sword")... I forget what it's called. Oh! I think BELT FISH... etc etc...

    What's dhanggit, btw?

    Haha, yeah, JS loves those "crispy" things like squab head, chicken bones, fish fins and tails... =D

    KC:
    Yes! The fried fish smell is not as appetizing when the fried fish is no longer in your presence. Haha. I think in the future, we may try doing it on the burner on the grill.

    joseph:
    Yah, sounds like too high a heat. Although, I must make a confession: *I* personally haven't fried fish EVER!!! It's usually somebody else in the house that does it. Teehee.

  13. I love eating fried mackerel but it freaks my husband out when he see me eating fish with head and tail :) :)

  14. OH, I would definitely find this to my liking. I am on a vinegar kick, so that chile vinegar would be my condiment of choice.

  16. My mom hated whenever I break off a few heads and keep it all to myself. Good times.

  17. Nam ped kapi? We must look up!

    Oh, I remember playing with the fish eyes at the dinner table when we were young. Teehee.
