Weekend Snapshot: Lato (Edible Seaweed)
By snippets on 10th February, 2008
That’s part of what we had this weekend … we call them “lato“. They tastes like the fresh sea and the way they “pop” inside your mouth when you eat them is kind of funny at first. Tastes great sprinkled with calamansi/lemon juice! 
Some info about the lato, and other Philippine edible seaweeds, here.

Love these, especially with tomatoes, onions, bagoong and green mangoes. Best eaten with fried or grilled fish. Saraaaaap!
Have a great week, M.

Ah you call that Lato, sis? Sa Pangasinan kasi iba ang tawag namin dyan. Ang sarap nyan lalo na sa pritong isda tapos ihahalo yan sa kamatid, sibuyas at bagoong isda. Hay… nagutom daw ako! Hahahaah
Happy Valentine’s Day, sis!
