Notes

Cooking Tips: 

Choose the Freshest Alamang

For the best flavor, always use fresh krill when making guisadong alamang. Look for alamang that is bright, firm, and has a mild scent of the sea. Avoid ones that smell overly fishy or have a mushy texture, as this indicates they are no longer fresh.

Sauté on Medium Heat

When sautéing the garlic, onions, and tomatoes, keep the heat at medium to prevent burning. This allows the aromatics to slowly release their flavors, giving the dish a rich, savory base. Rushing the process on high heat can result in unevenly cooked ingredients and a bitter aftertaste.

Season Lightly

Since alamang has a natural briny taste, be cautious with adding salt and seasonings. A small pinch of salt and pepper is often enough to enhance its flavor without overpowering it. Let the calamansi-patis dipping sauce provide additional seasoning to balance the dish.
