milkfish
Farmed Southeast Asian
Milkfish is a large silvery fish native to the Indo-Pacific, widely farmed for food throughout Southeast Asia.
It has numerous small bones but tender, mild-flavored flesh.
Called bangus in the Philippines, where it's the national fish and a dietary staple: We had milkfish for breakfast with garlic rice.
