A Bite of Bohol



One of the most unforgettable seafood dishes I have ever tried is the sting ray - yes, a sting ray.  It was a fresh catch from the sea fronting a beach house in Bohol, located in Central Visayas, Philippines.   

Mrs. Alvarez, a lovely homemaker from Bohol, cooked up a delicious dish with cutlets of stingray cooked in spiced coconut milk and bamboo shoots. The stingray had an outer layer as soft as the belly of a milk fish.  The inner portion tasted like tuna except that this a little bit more chewy and seemed to glide down the throat more easily. 

I have yet to taste another dish that can compare to the uniqueness of this home-made dish.
