Milkfish, scientifically known as Chanos chanos, is a popular fish native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, especially prevalent in Southeast Asian cuisine. Often featured in Filipino dishes like sinigang or daing na bangus, this versatile fish is prized for its mild flavor and tender, flaky texture. Milkfish is a nutrient-rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12, which support heart health, brain function, and overall vitality. It is relatively low in calories and saturated fats, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, milkfish does have numerous small bones, which may make preparation and consumption slightly tedious. Typically fried, grilled, or stewed, milkfish adapts well to a variety of cooking methods, offering a nutritious and flavorful addition to your diet.
