adventure in the wet market!

Tweet

Last time I had an adventure, it was in the wet market! I don't really go there, but last week I had an urge to cook something different. I rarely cook and everytime I cook, I want it to be different. So I wen into the wet market with my wife (my wife doesn't know ANYTHING about wet markets and cooking) and we bought foods we have never even tasted before. There was an octopus, but it is too hard too cook so we just left it alone. Then she said she miss eating sinigang sa miso (Philippine delicacy of meat cooked in sour based soup) ad so we decided to buy a big fish. We found a large tuna and I kno the head tastes great, so we bought it. And beside it we saw something wed looking and ask the vendor what it is. It was tuna eggs! And so I asked if we can cook it together with the head, and she said it tastes nice! So I decided to buy and try it.. On the next booth there were seaweeds and the vendor said it was good for salads, so I decided to buy it too. When we get home we don't have any idea on how to cook the seaweeds and researched the net and found some recipes. And guess what? It tasted so goood that the next day we just have to come back to the market and buy some more! Now about the tuna head with tuna eggs, it tasted so creamy and delicious! But, it was TOO creamy.. We bought too much eggs than required! But anyway it still tasted really good! How bout you guys? Have you ever had an adventure in the wet market before or anywhere else than sells exotic foods?
