Tabâ ng talangkâ (), also known simply as aligí or aligé (; Philippine Spanish ), is a Filipino cuisine seafood paste derived from the roe and reddish or orange tomalley of Varuna litterata or Asian shore crabs ( talangkâ).
Commercially sold variants of the condiment are sautéed in garlic, preserved in oil, and sold in glass jars. In parts of Pampanga and Bulacan, a preparation of the dish called burong tabâ ng talangkâ (fermented crab fat) consist of fresh river crabs stored covered in salt as a method of preservation. This variant is served during mealtime and is immediately consumed due to its perishability once removed from the salting container.
