What is milk fish called in Ilocano?

Milkfish [Chanos chanos], or bangus as it is locally called here in the Philippines is our national fish. Bangus is one of the many staple fish diets by Filipinos although milkfish is widespread in Southeast Asia. Countries like Indonesia and Taiwan have milkfish also in their diet. To describe this fish, the scales are bright silver and a slender body. The bangusthrive either in fresh water lakes, brackish water, mangrove swamps, estuaries and salt water. When cooked, the flesh is white as milk - that is why it is called milkfish. Because milkfish is notorious for being much more bony compared to other food fish in the country, deboned milkfish or "boneless bangus" has become popular and common in stores and markets. Widespread throughout the islands but the more tasty ones comes from Dagupan, in the northern part of Luzon, Philippines. There are many milkfish recipes available and stuffed milkfish or rellenong bangus is one of the best.
