EN: mackerel scad
A fish that's part of the 'GG' (Galunggong) family. You'll see this in the palengke, chilling on ice next to its cousins, the galunggong and matambaka. It's an everyday fish, perfect for a simple 'prito' (fried) or 'paksiw' (stewed in vinegar) kind of meal. Not as famous as GG, but still a staple.
The name might be related to its nature of staying far ("layo") or schooling behavior.
ROOT MEANING: distance
