Gourmet Tuyo is a premium, upgraded version of the traditional Filipino salted dried fish (usually herring), often packed in jars or pouch with flavorful olive oil, garlic, and spices, transforming a humble staple into an artisanal delicacy that's ready-to-eat and popular for breakfast with rice or even pasta. "Tuyo" means "dry" in Tagalog, referring to the preservation method, while "gourmet" signifies the high-quality fish, careful preparation (filleting, no preservatives), and enhanced flavors.
