The tidal flats of Cordova is much larger than the total land area of Cordova itself. That means, the tidal flats are so precious to many locals who derive their livelihood from its bounty such as baby eels, sea shells, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and many kinds of fish that they usually sell to local markets both in Lapu-Lapu City and Cebu City. The fish is so abundant in Cordova waters because there are huge mangrove forests scattered all over that serve as breeding or spawning ground for many fishes such as rabbit fish, parrot fish, spine foot, anchovies, and trevallies.

you were in my back yard Mark. I live in Lapu-Lapu on Mactan Island. I have been to Cordoba many times. its funny. I showed my wife and two sons that you were eating eels and all three, four including me, would not eat them. I am glad that you are able to eat all food from different cultures around the world. I have a great appreciation for vloggers like you. It was around the time of my birthday you were here and it would have been nice to meet and greet with your family. Rick from Philippines

They should've cleaned the eels' intestines prior to cooking it. Generally, you're supposed to remove the head too. If eels are cleaned properly, you shouldn't be tasting the slime from their outer skins; it's just supposed to taste like a clean and soft meat. This way, customers don't have to worry about accidentally eating the intestines or any other parts you're not supposed to eat.

It just makes me sad seeing that they don't preserve the baby eels. The eels that they harvest now are getting younger because they include the baby eels. The matured ones are getting rare. The local government should help to preserve the environment & regulate their catch.

Netflix has a show called Street Food: Asia. Season one, Episode Nine, called Cebu, Philippines. It tells the tale of this man and his restaurant. Definitely worth checking it out.

Too much work to eat. But also just unappetizing. Slime, guts, head and bones. If it looks good eat it. But if it looks bad don t. Not everything created was meant for our food.

NEW EDITING! I like the idea but it's kind of hard to read the small print on the green backsplash above the dish or spoon as it's moving around. Love the pizzazz though!

You might want to try to visit the South of the Philippines. You really need to see the beauty of the places here.
Lake Sebu is one of the place you can go to.
