I buy smoked salmon at Belcris in Dumaguete, love it, but it is farmed Norweigan salmon, can't find wild salmon. I read it's not good for your health, too many toxins, but I like it too much, so from time to time I just don't care. Try also smoked bangus, it's bone free and surprising good and cheap, 300 pesos a kilo, 1 pice around 300 gram and maybe not that many toxins

 

I have caught carp with rod and reel, mostly in lakes in southern Europe, Croatia, and Portugal. I use worms or corn as bait. I like fishing but I'm not a professional, carp can give a good fight but not a special good eating fish imho. I made spicy soup out of them, taste is not bad but it helps with spices haha. Wry never compare carp with smoked salmon, it same as compare pig ears with beef tenderloin. Sidenote, a local guy from Zamboangita caught a yellowfin tuna 138 kg with rod and reel using live bait, it took him 4 hours to fight the fish, I guess it's the biggest tuna caught in the Philippines this year on rod and reel. His name is Owen Vasquez he caught the fish on Amangan reef like 2 hours in a boat from Zamboanguita. I caught a tangigue (Spanish mackerel) on the west coast of Negros 112 cm and around 10 kg hope my upload succeeded
