Bubok or small young baby shrimp season is hitting Miri!.giving fishermen the chance to earn a side income. If you drive along the Batu Satu or One Mile of Lutong-Kuala Baram coastal highway and go through the old Lutong Airport road near the BayView now, you will be amazed and forced to slow down your car by mountain of bubok display by the Lutong Fishermen communities…and, it is really cheap! I mean RM 4 per kilogram.
Full and part time fishermen can be seen at beaches in Miri, bringing their nets known as ‘pakak’ to catch the tiny creatures that they turn into ‘cencaluk’ (salted shrimp) or ‘belacan’ (shrimp paste). However, nowadays (after we clarified with them), people catch the shrimp by huge net offshore and not like before where ‘pakak’ the triangle like net donned to two pieces of 7-9 feet pole also as a handle for the person to push along the beach line.
