Homemade Fishballs. There is a particular season in the Philippines wherein galunggong fish is abundant and its price in the market is relatively cheap.
Galunggong fish or scad in English is one of the many tropical fishes that has a unique, tasty flavor which makes me love it. When it’s fresh (fresh means bagong huli at kaaahon lang mula sa bangka), I usually buy several kilos of it and I cook them in many ways like, pinangat na galunggong, tinamales na galunggong, fishball na galunggong, paksiw na galunggong and others.
