EN: dried fish; salted fish
The general term for dried fish, the smelly but beloved breakfast of champions (along with sinangag and itlog - #TuyoSilog). This is what makes your neighbors know exactly what you're cooking. From tuyo to daing to danggit, they all fall under the "bislad" umbrella. It's the taste of the sea, preserved with salt and sun, ready to be fried to a crisp.
From Cebuano "bislad".
While understood in many Tagalog regions, it is more common in Visayan languages. "Daing" or "tuyo" are more frequent synonyms in standard Tagalog.
