    My partner said that snakeheads are quite tasty. They are known as dalag in the Philippines and are a favorite food fish.


    I haven't eaten dalag or mudfish in at least a decade. And neither has Mrs. MM, though it is one of her favorites, but only if cooked the way she had it as a kid/teenager. Her yaya (nanny) turned cook, then major doma, who worked for their family for some 50 years or so retired many years ago, used to cook a mean version. She inadvertently took with her a treasure trove of comfort food recipes, as nothing was ever recorded in writing, when she returned to the province. So when N visited us a few weeks ago in Cebu city, and said she was willing to come to Manila for a month-long "vacation" cum informal training course for our "younger" crew, of course we said yes faster than you can say yes... Mrs. MM quickly assembled a list of favorite childhood and young adult recipes and we hope to cover many of them in the month ahead...

    what is the best thing to do with it when you do catch one? the dude i was fishing with stab it in the head and then stab it everywhere else then throw it back into the pond, my guess was it was someone's pet, and must have put that snakehead in a fight club or soemthing then threw it into the pond...

    Don't you use grasshoppers for bait? Or locusts?

    GREEN with envy.. I wish I had a boat. I would love a nice outboard Kenner center-console. :( :( :(

    Oh, and cool last name - especially if you're a Star Wars fan. You should consider changing it though, to DaForce!
