Does anyone here have allergies? Food allergies? I for one do have a seafood allergy. Funny thing is, I can only eat fish but not other seafood.

How did I know?

I and my family found out when I was around 8yrs old. It was during October because I can clearly remember that our neighborhood used to pass around a Christ figure and October is the month dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary.

Anyway, we had crabs for dinner. It was my first time eating crabs at that time. After we had dinner, we prepared to pray the rosary. While we were praying, I started sneezing. Then I find it odd because the interval of my sneeze gets shorter. Then it got worse until one sneeze lasted at least 5 seconds or more. My nose became clogged, and my eyes were swollen.

After that, I never tried to eat seafood again well except for fish.

My father always tells me how to get rid of the allergy, and that I should eat more seafood. But we didn't have the money to buy shrimps or crabs at that time. It was expensive. Plus, my allergy can become mild to severe up to the point that I can't breathe. Good thing it never happened to me. I just breathe through my mouth.

Now that I got older, I've been wanting to eat more seafood to get rid of the allergy. Some friends advised me how to tolerate the allergy by dipping it into vinegar and putting more garlic or ginger.

Thanks to them I can somehow eat seafood now! When we went back to my parent's house in Manila, we ate seafood a lot. One thing, I can only eat fresh seafood so I can have fewer allergic reactions.

I am also about to share that I cooked baked/improvised cheesy tahong (mussel)!

Here's how...

Ingredients:

  • Minced garlic

  • Butter

  • Cheese

  • Tahong (mussels)

If you don't have an oven, you can do what I did.

Pan wrapped in foil with cover

Preparation:

  1. Boil the mussels (tahong). It will be easier to crack it open and remove the other shell. Plus you can use the soup for later.

  2. Mix the butter and garlic.

  3. Slice or grate cheese.

  4. Put a little butter with garlic and cheese on the mussel.

  5. Put it in a pan or oven and heat it at a low temp until the butter and cheese melt or until the mussels get cooked.

Viola! Just as simple as that.

Here's the yummy cheesy tahong.

Bon appetit!


The thing is eating seafood outside or in a restaurant might be too risky for me. I can't know if the seafood is fresh or not until I eat it. I can only eat home-cooked seafood for now.
