How the Best Oysters Are Grown in the Philippines

[@AngryKittens]

This should absolutely be replicated throughout the Philippines. We have so much unused coastline. Oysters are in high demand, expensive, can be exported, does not require much space, does not require care at all, aside from the hatchery. We desperately need large-scale exportable products. Things we are abundant with and we can be proud of.

[@shamgardeandeansandalo4699]

exactly but different political leaders different agendas,,,middle 80's and through the early 90's aquaculture exports specially prawn where I was very involved in was one of the core business transaction with foreign countries of Cory Aquino like Japan and France and US,,mostly Japan,,but at the cahnge of leadershipt to Ramos whos core voters were city people and city businesses,,real estate development was his core,,so thats why

[@kamotetops1572]

"This should absolutely be replicated throughout the Philippines, We have so much unused coastline" - In remote provinces where waters are pristine, YES! In populated coastal areas? - A definite NO! As a nation, we don't have a proper sewage system.

Another wonderful job to Featr. Keep on promoting our local products and inspiring our fellow Filipino. Rock on.

Thank you! Will do!

[@jeannevievehora3617]

share ko lang. It will be long hehe maswerte akong matuturing na lumaki ako sa maliit na lungsod sa Surigao kung saan may abundant natural grown oysters.. Isa sa paborito kong childhood memories ay some Sundays noon may family bonding kami at pupunta sa may mangroves area para kumuha ng oysters. Gamit ang bangka pumupunta kami sa area na may mga oyster at may dala kaming kanin, suka, softdrinks at kutsilyo pang open ng oysters. After manguha ng parents ko nang oysters hahanap kami ng pwesto malapit sa ilog kung saan kami makakasilong at makakakain 🥰 may dala din kaming sako lalagyan ng oyster para naman may madala kami pauwi ng bahay at yun ang magiging ulam namin for ilang araw, and to share as well sa neighbors namin Lumaki akong naging paborito ang pagkain ng talaba. Kaya sa every uwi ko galing ng Manila dati , oyster ang isa sa mga pagkaing hinahanap hanap ko. Currently nasa Australia na ako, nag aaral at natatrabaho bilang cook/chef . Dito maraming klase ng oyster ang nakita at natikman ko din. I am amazed kung paano nila pinepresent ang oysters sa mga fine dining restaurants dito. At may kamahalan, di tulad sa amin dati napaka mura lang.. 🥰 I’m confident to say na kung sa lasa lang ang pagbabasihan , masarap ang local oyster sa lugar namin sa Surigao 🥰 Kaya naman earlier this year nag suhesyon ako sa parents ko baka pwede kaming mag try mag grow ng oyster doon sa lugar namin. Currently may 3 floaters na kaming ginawa for trials, in few weeks babalikan na ng parents ko para e check kung marami bang oysters ang kumapit . Hopefully positive yung outcome 🙏🏻🫶🏻 If positive, we would like to add more .. Any suggestions po kung saan kami pwedeng makakuha ng kaalaman sa pag grow ng oysters please let me know po or seminars po na pwede kaming mag attend . At the moment po ay from KZbin research lang po yung ideas na ginawa namin 🥰

I'm usually not very happy with the oysters I've tried here in Metro Manila since I always compare it to the ones in my hometown Ilog, Negros Occidental, but I think this Tayabas oysters will trump those from Ilog. Excited to try this!

I think you guys should check out the Aklan Oyters. It has a rich umami and texture.

[@AngryKittens]

This is especially suitable for the mangrove habitats we have. Which are underutilized and thus tends to just be cut down for timber or some other unsustainable product.

[@jserenity]

We were eating raw oyster in Bulacan. Literally, our friend would just get a sunken long wood and voilà, multiple oyster in one haul! No cooking. Just open and dump it in vinegar and its an instant pulutan. However, I dont know if they still have it though. Never been back to that place...

[@kapiatgatas]

I grew up from Iloilo, near the beach. Later I learned it takes a year for oysters to grow and to be harvest. But it seems, their is no oyster season in Iloilo. We even eat oysters after midnight. We have two types of oysters the Talaba and Sisi. The oysters shown are big but not fat, like the ones I've been eating here in the US. A fat and healthy oyster meat should be 80-90% of the shell. The oysters they are showing are big shells, but the meat is only 60-70% of the shell. It's an acquired taste. The chef got use eating the same shit in the US. That becomes his taste bud.

Coastal road in Cavite was where we bought oysters, tahong and bangus by sackloads. My father did not want me to try it raw because I might get stomach ache. My best memories of my father was when buying food. Now I am making memories with my children. We ate oysters at Bacolod a few months ago. Salo-salo is the best way to bond.

[@featrmedia]

Sounds lovely!

[@armandosune3839]

Unfortunately, oysters in Bacolod are twice as expensive as those in Capiz and Iloilo, where they are mostly imported from. I once ate oysters, called talabalocally, at a talabahan across the Burgos market at Burgos street. The small plastic bowl cost me 80pesos, twice expensive than in Iloilo and Capiz.

[@anamarieph8597]

Cavite oysters, ang bango ba ng amoy?

[@MamitaClaud]

Cavite oysters 50 plus years ago when red tide was not as bad and the coastal water was not as polluted. Yes it was nice when I was allowed to eat it. Re bacolod oysters: I don't know. My daughter paid for it and family meals are suppose to be happy not about money. I think we reward our hardwork for the family with good meals.

For me seafood of the Philippines now isn't amazing at all.. cuz there's no control. Unlike to other countries, they respect sizes. They just dnt harvest unacceptable size, there's eye on you or none, they put seafood back to the water. That's why having seafood on the table now is gold. Much expensive when they're huge and perfect in size. Just sad.
