EN: head (of a fish)
The best part of the Sinigang na Isda for many titos and dads. While others fight for the body, the true connoisseur knows the flavor is in the una. It's the fish head, full of flavorful fat and succulent meat if you know where to look. "Sa'yo na ang katawan, akin ang una."
Possibly related to the other 'una' meaning first/front.
Primarily refers to the head of a fish, but can be used metaphorically for the front or leading part of something.
