Hands down the best bagoong on the market. It’s savory, flavorful, and has the perfect texture, not too oily and not too dry. If you want that classic, comforting taste of home, this is the exact jar to get. Packed well and arrived safely without any leaks! 10/10. I'm already excited for my Kare-Kare and crispy green mangoes!
Jesse Lou
protected, wrapped very well. no leaks
Iris Jennifer
Packaged well and tastes really good. Had it with some mangoes, sometimes I’ll just use it as a dip for cherry tomatoes or hard boiled eggs. Just a great jar to have on hand when craving something salty!

This is cheaper price of bagoong alamang, you can add anything you want to your own flavor or recipes. But for me, this is the best and very delicious bagoong alamang. When I started to taste, I never change the brand. Thank you.

It tastes delicious when I add salted shrimp and anchovy sauce when making kimchi. There is plenty of it, so I think I will be able to make kimchi often.

Repeat purchase, satisfied customer!
Minnettemontecillo
Got it. I always ordered this.

This is an essential ingredient for making Korean kimchi; without it, it just doesn't taste right.
cpliao1
First time buying, I'll try cooking with it
bacle59
It's frozen solid, but I plan to put it in the refrigerator later. This is the first time I've seen frozen salted shrimp and the first time I've bought it. By any chance, what was your experience like with frozen salted shrimp?
sunny
This is a reasonably priced salted shrimp product. Since salted shrimp is needed in small quantities for various Korean dishes such as stews, soups, and steamed eggs, it is an ingredient I keep in the refrigerator so I never run out.
