I cooked that... sinigang dish or sour-based soup with young leaves of sweet potato.
I bought that from a vendor who sell in our place every morning. This is a catch of their neighbor fishermen. She sells the marine animals that is not usually found in the market.
Two kinds of shrimps we call kampa and udang and then the crabs. Its hard to chance this catch because many neighbors are also wanting to buy it. If the vendor come first to your house and got some exotic catch, you are lucky.
I had a good dinner.

@ilocosboy yeah I have never tasted any one of them yet. I sm pretty sure it’s a bit pricey here in Manila.

The brown shrimp I think is rare though the bluish is not rare, many seafoods restaurants have that.

@ilocosboy Really! I haven't seen one like those two actually. Are they cholesterol laden?

Ahh, the lobster, yes its delicious but believe me that brown flat shrimp is more delicious, meaner.

I hope that you had a finger-licking dinner. However, I rarely eat sea creatures.
