Commonly known as “rabbit fish” because its mouth resembles that of a rabbit, danggit has provided a new livelihood opportunity to a people’s organization here whose dried fish production and sales have expanded threefold since they started two years ago. Ordinarily steep in price, danggit produced by the Seamancor Ecodevelopers Inc. (Seamancor) sells for P100 per 200-gram pack, or around 100 pieces of the bite-size dried fish fillet. Organized in 1994 by the Sorsogon provincial office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as part of a coastal environment program, Seamancor presently has 105 members from the coastal villages of Prieto Diaz.
