Dried Fish from Macau

By August 12, 2011 Foodie, Travel 2 Comments

Mom discovered this place through her readings and because she loved her first buy, she told me she had to go back to Macau to buy this dried fish.  I would not be surprised that is why we went to Macau!  There are quite a few vendors selling dried fish, but Mom says this is the BEST! ” It is not the same!!” She always tells me this when she is trying to prove a point to me.  She even said that people from Hong Kong come all the way to Macau to buy this dried fish.  Mom said to just eat it like tuyo or put it in your fried rice like the salted fish fried rice

 The place is somewhere near Senado Square.  It is a bit difficult to use a car or taxi here because the street is a no stopping street.  But somehow we managed!

They give you the fish to smell….everyone smells it acting as if they can tell by smelling 🙂

They pack it so well, you can pack it in your suitcase and it won’t smell 🙂 I will try to document one time how Mom cooks this

    Hey Papa Jun,

    That Macau dried fish mixed into fried rice must really be a treat, esp for bfast with scrambled eggs and tomatoes I love salted fish fried rice.
