00:00This is a member of the pufferfish family.
00:04It is said that if you eat it, you will get a pimple.
00:09It's small, but it is said to be full of deliciousness.
00:19It is dangerous to eat pufferfish, especially if it is not prepared.
00:26But why is a type of pufferfish eaten and sold at parties in the town of Dimasalang in Masbate?
00:36They have the ability to swim like a ball as a defense against larger fish.
00:43Due to the high supply of pufferfish in Dimasalang,
00:47most of the residents here sell pufferfish so that it will not be destroyed immediately.
00:54Their seasoning is not vinegar, but bay leaves,
01:00a type of tree that also has sour fruits.
01:03This is our seasoning for the pufferfish.
01:19And the pufferfish is cooked.
01:25The liver is delicious.
01:29Mmm, delicious.
01:32The cooks in Dimasalang Masbate Game Face On this Friday.
01:39They will compete in cooking Puri Ring.
01:44This is part of their Puri Ring Festival.
01:49One of the participants in the cook-off is Lora.
01:52She will serve a recipe called Kinamatisang Puri Ring,
01:56which is made from the pufferfish that she herself caught.
02:01The production is dry.
02:03Their family has been in business for four decades.
02:06Whatever fish is caught in the pier,
02:10we catch it.
02:13The fish that Lora bought,
02:15she cleaned it thoroughly.
02:18The pufferfish is really three,
02:20but if you think it's still a bit hard,
02:22we can put four pufferfish in it.
02:25If it is not washed properly,
02:27its texture will be different,
02:29its appearance will be different,
02:30it will not look good.
02:31They also don't put salt in it anymore.
02:34The salt also causes it to become moist when it is in the bag.
02:38Sometimes, if the weather is bad,
02:40it will take up to five days.
02:42Now is the time for Puri Ring.
02:44They will sell it for Php 80 to Php 200 per kilo.
02:48From July to the first month of the bear month,
02:52a lot of Puri Rings are caught in their ocean.
02:56I think it was born last December,
02:58because it was summer,
02:59then they just grew up.
03:00They are already noticed that they are big.
03:02They are already noticed that they are big.
03:05They are already noticed that they are big.
03:07So people can see that this is their season.
03:09So people can see that this is their season.
03:12It's not hard to catch these pufferfish,
03:15so when it comes to the market,
03:17the price goes down.
03:21The cleanest pufferfish that I can see in Perbañera is Php 1,000.
03:25So if I can finish 10 pufferfish,
03:27it's Php 10,000.
03:28In making her famous dry Puri Ring,
03:33Laura will first fry the dry Puri Ring.
03:36Just a little bit, so it will cook faster.
03:41In a separate pan,
03:42she sautéed garlic and onion,
03:44tomato,
03:45and then added the fried dry Puri Ring and potato.
03:51Even if it's already dry,
03:52then you crunch it,
03:53then you saute it,
03:54it's softer,
03:55it's more delicious.
03:56It's delicious.
04:01Most pufferfish have a taste,
04:04but the dry Puri Ring has a lower concentration
04:08or longer taste compared to the potato pufferfish.
04:12In the Philippines,
04:13there are more than 30 species of dry Puri Ring and pufferfish.
04:17Most of them really have toxins.
04:19But the concentration or level of toxins is different
04:23depending on the type or species of pufferfish
04:26and also depending on the part of their body.
04:28So the dry Puri Ring,
04:29let's look at the Arothron Manilensis,
04:31what's written there is that it's harmless.
04:34So it means that it's often categorized
04:36that it doesn't have a high concentration of toxins.
04:39But it still has toxins.
04:41That's why I think it became a practice of people,
04:44especially in coastal fishing areas,
04:46that they eat dry Puri Ring
04:48because in general,
04:49the taste of dry Puri Ring or Arothron Manilensis is low.
04:54Art doesn't just know how to cook,
04:57he also knows how to catch dry Puri Ring.
05:00Since high school,
05:01I've been with my uncle.
05:04And his specialty,
05:06Linabog na Puri Ring.
05:10The caught dry Puri Ring is cleaned
05:13and boiled in a pot.
05:16We'll add a bit of salt
05:18so that it will have a good taste.
05:26When it softens,
05:27one by one,
05:28remove the head
05:29and teeth of the fish.
05:33Mash the meat.
05:39And sauté.
05:41Next,
05:42add the coconut milk.
05:44Season to taste.
05:50And then,
05:51add malunggay leaves
05:52for substance.
05:54Linabog na Puri Ring is said to be more delicious
05:57when it's oily.
06:03But what Art will cook in the cooking competition
06:06is his specialty,
06:08Puri Ring Curry.
06:10Art's preparation is rare
06:12because the winner of the most delicious Puri Ring
06:16will win a prize of Php 5,000.
06:23Another winner in the cooking competition,
06:26Ginny,
06:27will make her own version
06:29of Japanese street food
06:31using Puri Ring.

06:55The winning Puri Ring dish
06:58in the Puri Ring Food Festival
07:00and the champion
07:05Puri Ring Takoyaki
07:08I'm so happy
07:09because I didn't expect that we will win.
07:11As a Dimasa,
07:12we are always looking forward
07:14to the month of July and August
07:16because that's the season of Puri Ring
07:18where we can taste
07:20a delicious Puri Ring dish
07:22where it's known to be cooked in Paksiw
07:24with liver.
07:25So, for those who are afraid,
07:28let's try it.
07:29The Puri Ring is delicious
07:30even though it's from the family of Butete.
07:32It's delicious and it's not salty.
07:34In general, my advice is
07:36to be careful.
07:37If you can avoid it,
07:38eat it.
07:39Just avoid it.
07:40What's good and safe to do
07:42is like in Japan,
07:43let's have a standard.
07:44For example, when we eat it,
07:45we know the level of toxin,
07:46we monitor it.
07:47It's like there's an advice
07:48on which part can be eaten.
07:50The taste of the Dimasa
07:53in Masbate
07:54is not boring
07:56because they cook
07:59delicious Puri Ring.
