Lingayen Bagoong is a popular product and sellers often mention that their bagoong came from Lingayen Pangasinan to signify good taste. It is known as the best bagoong in the Philippines. Filipinos going abroad bring bagoong with them, and most airport staff can distinguish if it came from Lingayen just by the smell of the aroma.
Bagoong(fish paste) is used as a sauce in grilled seafoods(especially bangus or milkfish), seasoning in cooking(pinakbet), and dip for certain fruits(Mango). Bagoong is made from fermented fish(3-6 months process). Fish from the Lingayen Gulf are used for this(dilis, galunggong, caballas, terong and padas).
