Near the longganisa place, we saw this couple selling LIVE FROGS!!! GOSH!
I told him to smile for me 🙂
And small crabs!! My Mom told me that her Dad used to buy that for them and he would squeeze the talangka ( crab fat ) out and put it directly on garlic rice or plain rice! Hmmmm… sounded so good!! I told Mom to make me try it!!
When it got home, the cook cooked it in the pan!!! OH NO!! She said there were some that were not alive anymore so she cooked it!
Vicky told us that you have to soak them fresh in vinegar and then squeeze them. We skipped the soaking part and the cook just cooked them and squeezed them. The crab fat came out still and it actually tasted YUMMY! I just added salt and pepper
It takes a lot of crabs to get talangka!

That is my favorite! i grew up eating this. in ilonggo we call it “Kalampay”. They now sell it here at Seafood City but its not fresh. If you go to Bacolod try the crispy crablet at 21st.
