Filipino seafood paste

About this dish

Tabâ ng talangkâ, also known simply as aligí or aligé, is a Filipino seafood paste derived from the roe and reddish or orange tomalley of river swimming crabs or Asian shore crabs (talangkâ). Commercially sold variants of the condiment are sautéed in garlic, preserved in oil, and sold in glass jars. In parts of Pampanga and Bulacan, a preparation of the dish called burong tabâ ng talangkâ (fermented crab fat) consists of fresh river crabs stored covered in salt as a method of preservation. This variant is served during mealtime and is immediately consumed due to its perishability once removed from the salting container. It can be served as an accompaniment to white rice, used as a condiment, or used as an ingredient in various dishes.
