Guisadong alamang is a very simple stir fried fresh krill dish that you will surely like. Just for the info, fresh alamang is not to be mistaken as bagoong alamang which is already salted and fermented. Fresh alamang can be bought in the local wet market but sometimes it can be seasonal. By the way, just to mention some info about the alamang, I thought those were baby shrimps that are catched by fishermen using a fine net. But actually those are small species of shrimps called “krill”. They are also a good source of omega 3 oil.
