Taboan in Cebu City - Dried Fish, Dried Mangoes, Dried Squid

One of the most memorable places you could ever visit in Cebu is Taboan . And it is not because of the beauty of the scene but because of the smell that lingers on your nose and sticks to your clothes down to your underwear. Why? Well let me give you a brief description of Taboan. Taboan Market - Dried Fish, Squid etc Taboan is located around Pasil in Cebu City, a known fish port where fishermen sold bulk of freshly caught fishes. In Taboan, you can find a lot of different kinds of indigenous food stuffs, from Otap to piyaya , to banana chips, chicharon , tablea , masareal , even the chorizo , which Cebu is famous for. But Taboan is not famous for those. Taboan is famous for its dried fishes and squids, particularly, the ' danggit '. And you won't find it like how you see it in the big groceries and  supermarkets. No, they can be seen in mounds, bare for all to smell and see, thus, giving Taboan it's famous smell.
