Palawan's tamilok: Looks like a worm, tastes like oyster

Marami din yan sa Iloilo...I use to eat that that too...

First time I saw this delicacy I did not have the advanturous appetite for it so I only got a bit of it...If it were with some booze it might have been different hehehe as pulutan.....

ordinary na lang yang tamilok.., kahit saan meron nyan.

It's been more than 30 years since I tasted this food from our home town in Plaridel Misamis Occidental. I wish some one will export that to the USA as there is a market for this kind of exotic food. It's really good especially with the local and fresh coconut sap called "tuba" in our locality.

Actually, it is a worm that eats the soft inside of rotten mangrove trees buried under the sand. It does not taste like oyster. It smells of rotten mangrove and mud.

Bon appetit.

That's right. marami nyan sa iloilo.

I saw this on TV, the travel Channel, and I thought it's a worm. Thanks for clearing it out for me.I was kind of ashamed because others might think Filipinos eat worms. I'm a Filipino & this is the first time I heard of this delicacy.
Hey, I might just look it up when I go for a visit someday. Is it available in Metro Manila?

I first tasted tamilok during my fieldwork in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur in 1993. The tamilok is a local delicacy symbolizing warm Surigaonon hospitality. When you are served tamilok, it means that you are fully accepted by the Surigaonon people like a family member.

What's with the home video? Don't you guys or company have a budget for a real professional video camera? The camera sucks, the audio sucks, the interview sucks. You guys don't do any justice to a beautiful place like palawan. Mabuhay!

It does taste a BIT like oyster but more of mud.

Hi...in Bangka Island Indonesia, we call it TEMILOK, people here have the same way to eat this shellfish with people in Palawan...you know, temilok is my BSc Research in Fish Processing Tech, we can keep in touch, you guys...can send your comment to my email at bunkdenn2000@yahoo.co.uk and do wait, good luck

If I have to eat this, I cannot look at it.

I am not sure if i could eat this at all. It does not look good at all. I am not sure who could eat this. winter springs exterior painter
