Adobong Pusit or also known as "Squid Adobo" is a very popular Filipino Seafood and an all-time favorite of Filipinos. I remember like 15 years ago when my sister and I hated this food so much that we cried and begged for fried chicken instead. But now, what can I say, we just love it!
Adobong Pusit is a native and a favorite food of every Filipino household because it is very easy to cook and prepare just like the pork adobo and the chicken adobo.
