- Abstract
- Banak is sometimes mistaken for bangus. But the banak is superior to the bangos in flavor and in freedom from fine bones which make the bangos unpopular to children. There are about fifteen kinds of banak in Philippine waters. Some live in salt water while others live in both fresh and salt water. Among the best liked fishes which command high prices are the lapo-lapo, pampano, talakitok, and bakoko.
