Pinakas is the local term for fish that has been halved, salted/seasoned and dried under the sun. A variety of fishes can be made into one like guma-a, lison, even bangus. However, it is almost synonymous to the salted and dried fishes that is commonly served during breakfast.
It was actually lunchtime today that I had this combo meal. No bigger than my palm, these small pinakas cost around PhP35 per 100 grams, around 10 pieces. Not overly fleshy compared to the bigger ones but they still satisfied me. Not to mention the vinegar dipped I used that even made it more appetizing. Another day that started good, gastronomically.
