Female Content Creator to Public: “silip-silipin din ang isda”
A female content creator reminded the public to be extra cautious when eating fish, especially after she discovered something unpleasant inside the one she bought and cooked.
Recently, Analiza Faraon Andal, a Facebook user, shared photos of something unpleasant she discovered inside the fish she bought and cooked. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
Andal explained how much she enjoys eating crispy fried fish, particularly the head, which is her favorite part. One day, while enjoying her usual meal of “GG” (galunggong) tinapa, something prompted her to check inside the gills of the fish before taking another bite.
Analiza found an odd-looking creature hidden in the gills. After doing a bit of research, she discovered that it was an isopod larva, a type of sea parasite that often lives in the gills or mouths of fish.
These parasites are usually hard to notice, especially if the fish wasn’t cleaned thoroughly and can survive even after cooking. She almost ended up eating it.
The female content creator reminded all fish lovers not to just focus on the taste or how well the fish is cooked. It’s also important to inspect it closely, especially around the gills or inner parts. Spoiled fish isn’t the only thing to watch out for. Sometimes, hidden parasites can still be inside, even if the dish looks perfectly fine on the outside.

“Mahilig ka din ba sa crispy na ulo ng isda?
Gusto ko lang mag-share, baka makatulong sa inyo lalo na sa mga mahilig din sa pritong isda.
Hindi ko talaga pinalalampas ang crispy na ulo ng isda. Fave ko kasi tong GG na tinapa. Kanina habang kumakain ako, may kung anong nagbulong sa’kin na buksan yung part ng hasang. Pagbukas ko, boom! May nakita ako sa loob.
At yun na nga nagresearch na ‘ko at napag alaman ko na isa itong isopod larva, isang klase ng parasite sa dagat na madalas nakatira sa hasang o bibig ng mga isda. Pwede silang hindi mapansin pag di masyadong nalinis, at kahit naluto pa, nandoon pa rin sila. Muntik ko na talagang makain!
Kaya reminder lang sa mga fish lovers diyan: kung may time, silip-silipin din ang isda bago at habang kumakain. Hindi lang panis ang dapat bantayan, minsan may nang-iintriga sa loob.”
