One of the seafood’s that the family like best is Alimasag or Crab. Simply steamed or cooking it in a casserole in low heat paired with tomato and onion salad in shrimp paste (bagoong alamang) will make a great family meal.
Here is how I cook it.
Wash the crabs thoroughly in running water.
After washing, place it in a casserole, and then sprinkle it with salt. No need to add water.
Immediately cook it under low heat to make the meat evenly cooked.
Easy to cook, hard to eat ahaha
If there are leftovers, I make it into a crab omelet on the next day.
How come crustaceans though hard to eat, seemed to be always the fave in the family?
Katukayo, hope you follow my food blog also @ http://www.gastronomybyjoy.com

hay, ang sarap isawsaw sa sukang maanghang!
My mom's favorite. I dunno why, pero di ako marunong kumain niyan! 🙁
yum, this is one of my fave foods…miss ko na toh. it reminds me growing up as a child we used to eat this dish often 🙂
YUMMY! I LOVE SEAFOODS! ?
Wow, how tasty?! The problem is, I am allergic to crabs. It is indeed very delicious. Thanks for the share. God bless.
I so miss alimasag! My poor kids were so amazed the first time I served them crabs… 🙁 They only know kani/surimi so when I get the chance to buy them fresh than frozen, I do. I like them the way you cook…at nakakamay! 🙂
Sus!!!!!!!!!!! Kung d lang bad for blood pressure to 🙁
addicting and yet we are allergic to it 🙂 Even so, it matches well with vinegar dip and a cool soda 🙂
Ito na naman si alimasag nakakagutom talaga. how i missed this kind of food already, if only i can grab these three pieces off your blog mommy joy i would hehhee
Oh my goodness! Alimasag, this is my fave way back to Philippines. I cannot afford to buy it here in Norway, super expensive. I can't wait to taste it again.
ahaha, thank you all for the comments 🙂
masarap kainin mahirap himayin, nakakabitin kasi di masunod sunod ang subo LOL
Ginutom po ako.. hehe. Hindi po ako nakain niyan. Pero dati po nung high school pako, nakatikim ata ako nito na pinakuluan pa sa sprite ba yun..
Minsan ayoko ng crab kasi ang hirap "tinikan," pero kapag may sukang maanghang na kasama sa mesa, di mapigilang kumain. Haha.
Yum! I love Alimasag too! I love it with gata or simply steamed as well! 😛 Always yum! 😀
