It was one of my favorite local dishes here in Silay City, well theres other torta like Tortand Talong which is one of my favorite also. I remember my Lola used to cook it in the morning for breakfast and I keep some of them as ba-on in school for lunch.
Since the town is located by the Bay, several varieties of fresh seafood are readily available. Silverfish or Lubo-Lubo as we called it in local is abundant here in Silay City buy or any part of Negros Occidental.
Fishing for Silverfish is not a hard thing to do, at least according to them. If they want to have Tortang Dulong or Lubo-Lubo for breakfast or even Kinilaw na dulong as “pulutan” while they are drinking or shall I say “nagbabarik”, all they have to do is paddle their way to the middle of the bay using a small boat arming themselves with just a bright light or “lampara” and fishing nets with fine holes. After a few hours, the fishermen are back with buckets full of silverfish.
I have two ways in enjoying Tortang Dulong. The first is making a sandwich out of it using toasted bread or pandesal, mayonnaise, and a little ketchup; I also like to eat it with garlic fried rice.
How do you enjoy eating your omelet? Hope to hear from you, friends.
