B.
There are about sixteen varieties of anchovies found in the Philippine water. Anchovy is
otherwise known as "dilis", "Bolinao", "monamon", "diris" or "talisok".
Although the flesh of the anchovy is dry, it is rather delicated and flavorful which makes it
ideal for wet-salted anchovies (bagoong). It can also be made into kropeck, biscuit or toast. "Dilis" is
very nutritious. Today, it is widely used to supplement calcium-deficient diets.
