EN: tuna (fish)
The MVP of the pantry. Whether it's in a can (hot & spicy or in oil?), in your sushi, or grilled as a steak, `tuna` is a Filipino staple. It's the go-to `ulam` for busy people, the star of tuna-pandesal, and the reason why General Santos City is the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines."
From Spanish 'tuna', from Arabic 'tun'.
Refers to the fish. A different, much rarer, 'tuna' (from Spanish) refers to the prickly pear cactus fruit.
