00:00Brother Oscar, Mami Susan, when was the last time you went to the beach?
00:04And of course, follow-up question, did you miss going to the beach?
00:07Of course!
00:09Of course!
00:10How about you?
00:11How about you?
00:12I think it was last summer.
00:13Oh, summer?
00:14I think it was last year.
00:16No, no.
00:17I think it was last summer.
00:18I think it was last April.
00:19You should ask me.
00:20You should ask me.
00:21How about you?
00:22I think it was three years ago.
00:23That long?
00:24Yes.
00:25Oh, really?
00:26Because that's how dedicated I am to my job.
00:28I won't be absent.
00:30That's how it is.
00:31How about you?
00:32Okay, Toma.
00:33I'll just say it.
00:34Aside from the beach being chill, it's a different joy to bring this to the residents of Mindoro.
00:40Oh, you need fast hands to catch a type of sea creature that,
00:45even though it looks different, it's delicious when you eat it.
00:49That's my story that you should know.
00:52They have a long shape and it looks like it has horns.
00:59It also has a beak that looks like a bean sprout.
01:04This is the Tongue Shell Sea Cucumber.
01:12In Pola, Oriental Mindoro, Melvin, who is 26 years old,
01:17is already used to catching and eating sea cucumbers.
01:20When I was young, I was already catching sea cucumbers.
01:24I don't know how many years I've been eating them.
01:27I catch them when they are big or small.
01:34It's so fast.
01:35Sea cucumbers are usually found by the sea, lying on the beach.
01:42There it is, guys.
01:45Wait.
01:47Wait.
01:48There.
01:49It's big and fat.
01:51It's fat.
01:55The family of Talaba and Tahong Angbalay,
01:57according to the Senior Fishing Regulations Officer of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, NCR,
02:02Noni Enolva.
02:05Angbalay is a type of sea cucumber.
02:08This is called Tongue Shell because its scientific name is Linguna Anatina.
02:14Anatina comes from the Latin word Linguna, which means tongue or tongue.
02:20Anatina means duck-like or the shape of a house or the face of a baby or a baby duck.
02:27In addition, its tail has no taste and only helps to make the movement or hiding of the house faster.
02:34It's not like other shells that can float,
02:39like scallops in the form of propulsion, that can float.
02:43Its only purpose is to burrow underneath.
02:48When the sea water is high, it is difficult to find a house.
02:52You have to dive in the water and your hands have to be fast so that you can catch and break the house
02:59because it sinks quickly underneath.
03:02Although it is difficult to catch, Melvin was lucky to get a plate of house.
03:07They will take it home to grill and make Kinilaw.
03:12Wash it 2 or 3 times until the water runs out.
03:16Then, cut the tail.
03:20Grill the house until it opens.
03:26Add sauce and let it cook.
03:32The cut tail is not thrown away.
03:36They rub it with salt, onion, tomato, and chili to make Kinilaw.
03:44It's delicious. It's solid. It's delicious.
03:47Its tail is delicious.
03:49According to nutritionist Jasmine Balisi,
03:51the house food is good for the body as long as it is properly cooked.
03:56We can get protein and what we call Omega-3 fatty acids,
04:01even vitamin B12 that can help protect our hearts.
04:06Jasmine also does not recommend eating it raw.
04:10It is also not recommended to eat raw tongue shells because it has heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.
04:18And aside from that, because it is exposed to the skin, it can lead to toxicity,
04:23especially if we consume a lot of it.
04:27BIFAR also reminds us to ensure that there is no red tide alert or algal bloom in the sea when fishing.
04:34If we are going to eat it, we should make sure that it comes from a clean sea.
04:40We prohibit all kinds of shellfishes if there is a red tide in the source or fishing ground.
04:48Although it looks different, it is delicious to eat.
04:51But for every bite, make sure that the way you get and cook it is safe.
04:58That is the story you should know.
