Part of our adventure while in the island of Catanduanes was boating. And part of this plan was to go fishing. Unfortunately, we were not able to catch any fish. So some of us went swimming instead in the deeper part of the water while others stayed in the boat. That's my mom and my kids in the photo (right side).

Most of the natives living in the island are fishermen. Most of the fishes they are able to catch are big ones (photo below) and these include lapu-lapu. I was really excited seeing the fishes. Back home in Pangasinan, I used to buy fishes as big as these ones but they are very expensive. They sell for more than Php 200 per kilo. There I was told that they only sell for Php 90.00 per kilo. How I wished I could bring them home still fresh. But of course that will not be possible so that we dried some of them in order to be able to bring them to Pangasinan.
