FIL: Isang uri ng malaking isdang-alat na karaniwang nahuhuli sa malalalim na bahagi ng dagat, kilala rin bilang atún.
EN: tuna
This is the big fish that ends up as sashimi in Japanese restaurants or canned tuna in your pantry. In General Santos City, the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines," a giant barilis can be a status symbol for a fisherman. It's the heavyweight champion of the sea.
From Spanish 'barril' (barrel), referring to the fish's barrel-shaped body.
Often used interchangeably with 'atun', but 'barilis' is more common in Visayan-influenced areas like Mindanao.
