tinapat�, a spread made with smoked fishWhen we first discovered tinapat� in the Shoppesville tiangge in Greenhills a couple of years ago, my husband and I were immediately intrigued. A pat� made from the humble tinapa (smoked fish)? A small container cost PhP 80.00 at the time. Not exactly cheap but we were really dying to try the tinapat�. It was worth the price. We’ve been buying tinapat� regularly since then. As far as we know, Connie’s Kitchen (not related to me in any way despite the name) was the first maker of tinapat�. Later on, we would discover that it has an outlet in SM Megamall.

Today, Connie’s Kitchen is not the only tinapat� maker. At Tiendesitas, there are other sellers of this delicious paste made from tinapa. They aren’t called tinapat� though. Probably a trademark thing. A similar product that is just as good is called smoked bangus pat�.

The idea has also given way to the making of spreads using very Filipino food products like itlog na maalat (salted duck eggs).
