They are dishes. These are the food I grew up with. My parents both comes from Pangasinan, although I reside in Metro Manila and Pangalatok hasn't ever been my native tongue, my palate happens to be with one of these Pangasinan dishes.

Traditional Pangasinan dishes are noted using its using bagoong (fish paste) within their veggie dishes and cow or goat innards using their meat soup dishes, while desserts are primarily manufactured from rice made sweet in sugar and coconut concoctions and made which has a tempting aroma by cooking it under wood.

Dagupan Bangus

Why is this bangus (en. Milkfish) different from other bangus in the united states? They are the hybrid type. Most milkfishes are freshwater species, but in the Dagupan, they are bred at saltwater with the Lingayen gulf. Being bred sailing, there is a different taste, more saltier and lesser stench (lansa) compared to the other. These fishes are good for grilled cooking or fried (boneless bangus) or becoming added like a meat supplement first with their other dish called pakbet.

Pakbet
Comparable to pinakbet that is an Ilocano dish. Whilst they mostly don't differ what the identical. Pangasinan could be the nearest province in the Ilocos Region in mention of capital, Metro Manila, yet because it's still Ilocos, they actually do have almost the identical dishes.

It's a dish of mixed vegetables you commonly hear inside the Filipino song "Bahay Kubo". But Pakbet Pangasinan has more sauce (sabaw) in contrast to Ilocos and the soup is created more tastier by Bagoong isda (fish paste) as an alternative to those the Ilocanos use which can be usually fish sauce (patis) and alamang (made of krill). Pakbet can be mixed up with meat, either pork, beef or milkfish (bangus).

Raw small fishes (anchovies) are placed inside a large cooking pot, seasoned with salt, vinegar plus a little chilly. Preserved for any day without cooking and also have itself be fermented by salt. Crushed somewhat and so the fish taste mixes up with the thick sauce via osmosis. Then sold in bottles. It possesses a stench unbearable to some people however mixing this approximately sour foods including raw mangoes as well as to add taste to pakbet helps to make the dish tastes awesome.
