Lechon!!!!! So so yummy.

Lechon (when cooked well) is really good stuff

There are a couple of muck dives in Puerto Galera. Here's a few shots from one. Back to the cell phone in housing until the end of the trip--the borrowed camera is leaving with its owner...

I wouldn't say no to help in identifying the critters (more precisely than transparent shrimp, flamboyant cuttlefish, not-as-flamboyant cuttlefish)...

The larger cuttlefish is most likely a common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)

The smaller one (as you mention) is a flamboyant cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi)

The shrimp is some type of anemone shrimp (there are over 150 different species)

I had eaten the stuff so many times but never had it NOT properly cooked.

Lechon skin could have been crispier, but very nicely done! I did not need BCD weights the next morning
