How is bagoong made? Erwan Heussaff is cooking his own bagoong, but first, we are going on a field trip to learn more about the revered delicacy. Bagoong is a seafood paste that is typically made by combining “alamang” (small shrimps or krill) or fermented fish and is then mixed with salt. We are following the passionate story of alamang fishermen who supply fresh buckets of alamang to markets and bagoong makers despite the challenges of the daily grind.
Bagoong can be found in different parts of the world and can be used in various dishes, but we’re here to make a classic version that might just tickle your cravings for this umami-filled paste. Try Erwan’s recipe today!
