When I was little, my fish diet was limited to bangus and a silvery brown fish called
abo. I have no idea what it's called elsewhere but I remembered being excited when the
sud-an (
ulam) was
pinirito (fried)
nga abo.From then on even as my list of fish eats expanded, this remains as one of my favorite fishes - but still just the
piniritong abo.

Now, it seems that my 6 year old nephew has also acquired the same taste preference for this fish - also just the fried one. Even if we explain that the
paskiw na abo is just the same fish swimming in "brown water".
