needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:
Welcome to the (TLE- Food Processing for Grade 10) Self-Learning Module (SLM) on

Lesson
Ferment Fish and Other
5 Marine Products
Food is delicate and perishable especially if they are mishandled. Because of
the situation that we are facing today, the distribution of supply from farm to the
market place is greatly affected, thus, many foods like fish, fruits and vegetables are
thrown to waste due to spoilage. One way of preserving them is through fermentation.
By doing so, you can save them from rotting and you can also generate income by
selling the finish product.
What’s In
In your previous lesson, you have learned how to prepare the raw materials,
tools and equipment in performing alcoholic fermentation and acetic acid
fermentation. In this module, you will be learning how to ferment fish and other
marine products by following the standard procedures. Are you looking forward to
this lesson? You may now proceed to the next activity.
Direction: Let’s check if you can still recall the different methods of preservation.
Match column A with column B.

How are you coping with our lesson? I hope you are curious about the topic
that we will be discussing in this module.
Directions: Do you eat fermented fish? What is the food that you usually pair
with it? Have you ever wonder how is it made? Evaluate the pictures below and chose
the perfect pair for each food based on your own preference. Select from fish sauce,
fish paste and shrimp paste (alamang).

What is It
Definition of Terms
Read the information sheets very well then find out how much you can
remember and how much you learned by doing the succeeding activities.
One of the oldest and most widely used food preservation methods in every
household is fermentation. Fermented fish products are used as a condiment in
Asian countries particularly in the Philippines. Filipinos consumed this product
because of its unique characteristics and aroma which boost the appetite.
Fermented fish produces two products, first is the bagoong (fish paste) and
patis (fish sauce). Anchovies, shrimp, slipmouth, tilapia, sardines, herring,
silverside, oysters, clams, and other shellfish are the most commonly used fish for
fermentation. Anchovies are the most common because of their low price and
availability in the local market.
The fish sauce or patis is the liquid obtained on the top of the mixture after it
has been thoroughly fermented. It has the same raw material as the fermented fish
but they differ in the fermentation period. After years of fermentation, the fish sauce
may be obtained either from fish or shrimp bagoong. The longer the fermentation
period, the better quality produced. To obtain the fish sauce, drain and filter the
liquid that forms on top of the mixture. Heating will also help develop its desirable
qualities which make it more delicious.
Fermented fish vary depending on the place it is made. Each place has its own
unique way of fermentation handed down from generation to generation. For
instance, the shrimp paste in Visayas and Mindanao is dry and solid, while in the
Ilocos Region and Pangasinan they are fermented and ground. Fermented fish can
be sautéed with spices and calamansi juice and used as an appetizer.
