FIL: Isang uri ng isda na may mahabang katawan na parang ahas, madulas ang balat, at karaniwang matatagpuan sa tubig-tabang.
EN: eel
The igat is the original 'snakeu' of the river. It's that slippery fish that's a delicacy in some provinces but gives others the creeps. Think of it as the water version of that 'madulas' (slippery) officemate who always gets away with not doing their work.
Refers specifically to freshwater eels. The saltwater variety is often called 'palos'.
