00:00Do you know, Susan, that when you're scared, you say,
00:03Tumitiklo?
00:04Oh, you should change the title of our next story.
00:07When you're scared, you make yourself grow up to be scared.
00:12Is that the story that Mark Zalazar told?
00:15What's that?
00:18This small fish, when it's not scared,
00:21it's called Lobo.
00:23But whatever defense you do,
00:25in a fight,
00:27it's caught to be eaten.
00:34Every last Sunday of June to August,
00:37in Ganaraw, Buriring,
00:39in Burias Island, Masbate.
00:41Shandi has been buying Buriring for five years
00:44from fishermen.
00:46Buriring!
00:47At a price of Php 180 per kilo,
00:49she sells it in her area.
00:52I've been selling Buriring for almost five years.
00:55This is the kind of life I've chosen
00:57because for the people of Masbate,
00:59this is the kind of life I've chosen.
01:02You should know that Buriring
01:04has the ability to swim
01:06and drink water as a defense against itself
01:09according to the Senior Fishing Regulations Officer
01:12of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
01:14Noni Inolva.
01:16During catching, or when there's a predator
01:19that eats it,
01:20it's a defense mechanism
01:22so it looks bigger.
01:24It's mainly the ventral side of its body.
01:28For those who don't sell Buriring,
01:30Shandi sells it in packs.
01:32I learned how to cook from my grandmother
01:34because when I was young,
01:36I always watched her.
01:40Shandi uses water and salt
01:42to clean Buriring.
01:44When cooking a packed Buriring,
01:46she first puts the sour leaves of the cabbage.
01:50Next, she mixes the Buriring with chili.
01:53To remove the fishy smell of the fish,
01:55Shandi adds lemongrass and water.
02:02She covers it with the leaves of the cabbage
02:04and boils it until it's cooked.
02:09This is the Buriring Paksiw of the people of Masbate.
02:14The Buriring is really delicious and delicious.
02:17You can really eat a lot of rice.
02:20Aside from Paksiw,
02:21they also buy Buriring to eat.
02:24They sell it for P100 per kilo.
02:28Experts say that
02:30Buriring is a family of poisonous puffer fish.
02:34Buriring is still under the family Tetraodontidae.
02:38Their genus is different.
02:40We do not really highly encourage eating it.
02:43It's just that it's still juvenile.
02:46The toxicity level of Tetraodon is still low.
02:50But when it gets bigger,
02:52the toxicity accumulates in its body.
02:57It's proven and tested by the people of Masbate.
03:00We have not heard of a case where a Buriring was eaten.
03:04Even if the Buriring is small or big,
03:06it has a taste that can be dangerous to eat.
03:10So it's important to catch and cook it before eating.
03:15I am Mark Salazar.
03:18And that is the story you need to know.
