Tamales na Dulong

February 21, 2015 by Manny 2 Comments

This recipe is from Ilocos region I, a tamales made from dulong or a small fish found mostly in the northern part of the Philippines. The fresh dulong is wrapped in banana leaves and then poached. Dulong is very common in wet market so you can’t miss it. I’m just not sure what is the English word for that fish because I use to think that they are baby anchovies. But with a little research I found out that it is also called lacustrine goby.

To cook tamales na dulong; Mix the first four ingredients together. Place 1/3 cup of the mixture on two layers of banana leaves. Wrap in the form of a square and tie with a string. Put wrapped tamales in pan and add two cups water. Cover and boil 30 minutes over moderate heat. Serve with calamansi juice. To see the complete recipe with list of ingredients in exact measurements, continue reading.

      Hello,
      “IPON” is what they call this in Ilocos. Silver fish if I am not mistaken in english. They also make “kilaw” of it when fresh, just mixed with the usual calamansi, lasona (shallot), salt and kamatis. They also sometimes make fish patties.
