Fish drying along the coastal road in Tanjay barangays. In Tanjay, an east-coast city known island-wide as the source of budbud. Landings run on the boats, not on shop hours — the catch comes ashore early and is gone to the markets by mid-morning. Buying at the landing means lower prices and whatever came in that day rather than a choice. Worth timing a visit at first light if you want to see how the day’s supply actually starts.
