EN: trevally (a type of fish)
A fish you'd find in the palengke. Don't confuse it with 'balaniin' (to be mesmerized). This one won't hypnotize you, but it's pretty good when fried or made into sinigang. It's the fish your tita points to and says, "Ay, masarap 'yan, bilhin mo."
Unknown. Specific to Philippine ichthyology.
A specific term used by fishermen and in markets. Not a widely known word outside of these contexts. Also spelled 'bilangin'.
