Footage shows a fisherman prying open freshly harvested pen shells.
Russel Del Ayre saw the worker removing the innards of the molluscs with a knife in Bicol.
The man then placed the adductor muscle of each shellfish into a blue basin.
Pen shells, locally known as baluko, are considered a regional delicacy. These large, wedge-shaped molluscs are prized for their meaty texture and rich flavour.
