A seaweed called Lato: Lato Salad

Lato are seaweeds that looks like teeny-weeny grapes.

They are a favorite specially if the meal includes fried fish.It pairs terrific with fried fish, which gets me into thinking..they maybe great with fried porkchops too!

My first encounter with Lato was many years ago, during lunch………… at the neighbors, hee. The neighbor’s daughter was my playmate and one day, after playing through lunch, I caught a glimpse of what her sister was putting on the dining table. It was these tiny green grapes and I haven’t seen it served at our house –ever {my mother is not so adventurous in food}.

So I asked what it was and she told me that it was lato and it is eaten as a salad/side dish together with the fried fish. I told sis about it when I went home. Sis and I went to the market the next day to buy lato and made a salad according to the neighbor’s instruction. It was soooo good. Those little green grapes bursts with salty goodness that goes so well with the sourness of the vinegar and the sweetness of the onions and tomato.

I ate too much Lato Salad that day, I was nauseous after…hee. It was a foodie experience I could never forget. Today, I went to the market and bought P20 {$0.50} worth of lato and paired it with Fried Tilapia.

    I remember during our fishing trips (which was aaaages ago) we would pick this up (i think on low tides) and then just dip it in vinegar and dunk it in the mouth. I have never seen this outside the Philippines. This is just awesome. Yum yum yum yum!

      Hello
      We grew up in Sulu province and very familiar with Lato. Lived in North America for long time.
      Many years ago we were able to eat lato (dehydrated and you had to put in cold water)
      It was great. But couldn’t find it after couple of months. .Please inform me if there is such preparation available. Thank you.

    Hi there, in relation to your post. I have a proposalfor you. We have a direct plantation of Lato Seaweeds in Cebu. FYI, we used to supply direct to Japan from the past but since our buyer in Japan died, we stopped the transport. Our quality is high and we can send you samples if your interested. we are looking for wholesaler here in Manila just like we had in different provinces. We could transport it in bulk to anyone interested on COD basis only. Please contact me if you are interested, my name is Reynold Ablong you could search me in Facebook. My contact numbers are 09328640265 thanks
