The hotel where we stayed at was selling bottles of gourmet tinapa. You can get something like these at the supermarket just like the bottled sardines. But there is always something about local bottled products like these that I like to take home as souvenirs. I did so for Alavar Spanish Sardines from Zamboanga and Victorias sardines from Negros Occidental. And so I instantly had interest in the gourmet tinapa at the hotel.

| Tinapa is actually a generic word for smoked food (from tapa). In this case, it is the fish, which is likely to be herring or sardine. |
 |
| There are two variants - the regular one and the extra spicy |
 |
| This was a product of another Albay town to the west of Legazpi City and beside Donsol, Sorsogon. Donsol, of course, is famous for whale shark watching. |
I got four bottles of the gourmet tinapa - two of each of the regular and spicy variants. We've opened a bottle of the regular one after some craving on my part. The tinapa in corn oil was really good. You can enjoy it for any meal with rice (breakfast, lunch or dinner). I thought it can also go well with pasta. I would surely get a few bottles the next time I see these.
