“Isda” means fish. With all the thousands of islands comprising the Philippines, “isda” is the most popular protein in the country. The favorite and most affordable “isda” are “bangus” (milk fish), “tilapia” and “galunggong” (mackarel scad). Many other “isda” are available in the market but a bit expensive, such as “lapu-lapu” (grouper), “maya-maya” (red snapper) and “dorado” (mahi-mahi).
