Top 11 Dried Fish Suppliers in the Philippines (Tuyo, Danggit, Dilis)

Mimi M.
Partnership & Logistics Coordinator

📍 Sellers from Cebu, Negros Occidental, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, and Misamis Oriental    💰 Prices from ₱100/kg to ₱1,400/kg    📦 Ready-to-cook tuyo, danggit, dilis, and more

Dried fish is one of those pantry staples every Filipino household keeps on hand, fry it up with garlic rice and a vinegar dip, and you've got a meal that never gets old. Whether you're after classic tuyo, salty-sweet danggit, or crispy dilis, dried fish is one of the easiest categories to stock up on straight from dried salted fish sellers across the country, no wet market haggling required.

In Tagalog, dried fish is called tuyo or daing. In Bisaya it is called bulad or buwad.


Kinds of Dried Fish in the Philippines: How Tuyo, Danggit and Dilis Are Different

They're all dried fish, but they're not interchangeable at the table:

⦁ Tuyo is usually herring or sardine-type fish, salted and sun-dried whole, the classic breakfast staple.

⦁ Danggit is rabbitfish, split open and dried flat, either with bones or deboned, and tends to be saltier and crispier when fried.

⦁ Dilis are tiny anchovies, dried whole, great as a crunchy side dish or ground into a rice topping.

Here are the main kinds of dried fish sold by the suppliers below:

Stored properly in a sealed container, most dried fish keeps well for a few weeks at room temperature, longer if refrigerated, handy if you're buying in bulk. Nutrition-wise, dried fish is a good source of protein, though the drying and salting process means it runs higher in sodium than fresh fish, worth keeping in mind if you're watching sodium intake as part of a meal plan.
