Dulong na Torta(Tortang Dulong)

Fried White Fish Patty

Recipe by :  Ariel Jasa,  Mandaluyong City, Philippines

Dulong na Torta is a fish patty made from tiny white(silver) fish about an inch or less in size and is very tasty.

The tiny white fish are washed and mixed with an egg, breadcrumbs, onion, salt and pepper and flattened like a burger to make a patty or fish cake (like the crabcake).

However, it is not served in a bun like a burger or the crabcake, but eaten with rice or as a snack (even beer snack) with a spicy vinegar, ketchup, or mayonnaise with garlic (aoili) dipping sauce.

Torta usually means omelette in most Tagalog dishes, though it could also be used to mean Torte(or a type or bread or pastry), or the Kapampangan dish Torta, made of ground pork and potatoes in tomato sauce.
