RE: Balatan Public Market - Beautiful Sunday
It would be hard to not be a beautiful Sunday with a journey like this!
The road trip was amazing but this agenda he's quite exciting all by itself. It didn't take long for us once we get there to see that this is a very popular fish market. I can say that everything looks like it came right out of the water and to keep in it's fresh estate I am sure that haggling would be the way to go! Carp is wonderful but I can say that if it's not cooked right I don't care for it! Tilapia is also something that's very common for us to eat come here in the United States and I like it because it's a nice light fish it goes well with many other sides.
I just had this discussion with someone else here on the platform about buying gifts for loved ones and that is exactly what I said was it is the thought that counts. I was brought up in a family that bought little gifts for people they loved when they went away. And who doesn't love corn on the cob? It is one of my favorite go-to foods! I'm not familiar with that candy that is sweet sour and salty. But I can tell you just by the description it is something that I would love. You're sweet area was amazing and I can't imagine getting out of there alive! At least not having to buy something!
Your version of the line looks exactly like a line crossed with a orange, but I'm sure that it is wonderful the price sounds right! That's funny to see the Ginger mixed with the tomatoes. And I like all different kinds of onions also. That would be an abundance Spice Market. Oh how I do know that dried fish favorite! I am not familiar with the milkfish but of course sardines I am drying fish or smoking it is something that my mom used to do for the winter time when fishing was not as popular. I have never had the flying fish so you'll have to tell me what they taste like. It has to be amazing to walk around a market that has piles of fish that are as big as some hills. And yes! You are so right about the dried fish and cooking. You only do that one time. Those short, squat bananas called Saba is a go to treat. The dried cassava was interesting. Fruits to Knotts to pineapples and meat! I do not think I have ever been so thoroughly shopped as I have today! You gave an amazing adventure for a market Friday and I do not think that you will be able to top this for a long time! It is always appreciate the time spent Gathering and putting a post for this together. It is very much appreciated and I wish you a most wonderful day.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Upped and steemed

It was a good thing it was a Friday when we visited. That is the only day when the have a lot to offer truly #MarketFriday lol. You said it all my friend and for sure I would have fun roaming around a market place with you. Next best thing is sharing the experience the best way I can. I really hope that you could experience an authentic Philippine breakfast one day with the dried fish. About the dried flying fish I pretty sure we bought some but was nowhere to be found. Maybe we left it at our hosts house, well anyway I'll try to find some if I could at our market at home.
Another thing here is they have a different dialect. My wife understands the language but couldn't speak the dialect during full conversation. Best way that always works is point to what you want and give a smile lol. I really think so too that I would have a hard time to top off this market but I'm really excited to visit another one if we have another chance to travel. Markets always feels like a surprise out of the box. You would never know what varieties of fish they have and some even have insects for sale. I'm still trying to find where it is.
Thank you very much my friend really glad that you loved it and have an magical day ahead.
