GINAMOS:

Ginamos is a salted, fermented product made from tiny fish like silver fish, anchovies or sometimes bigger fish like sardines. Sold in glass jars or in open buckets at the market, the sight of it is not exactly appetizing as most are cloudy to muddy gray in color.




BAGOONG:

 Bagoong is a Philippine condiment made of partially or completely fermented fish or shrimp and salt.The fermentation process also results in fish sauce (known as patis)




Red Snapper( Maya-Maya):

 Is a species of snapper native to the western Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico where it inhabits environments associated with reefs. This species is commercially important and is also sought out as a game fish.

EEL:

Eels (Anguilliformes/æŋˌɡwɪlɨˈfɔrmz/) are an order of fish which consists of four suborders, 20 families, 111 genera and approximately 800 species. Most eels are predators. The term "eel" (originally referring to the European eel) is also used for some other similarly shaped fish, such aselectric eels and spiny eels, but these are not members of the Anguilliformes order.



LAPU-LAPU:

They range from beautiful reds and oranges to delicious tasting black ones. They have distinctive spots that range from stunning blues to yellows, black, etc. They range in size from teeny tiny tots to some over two meters long and nasty mamas and papas. 


TULINGAN:

This fish is best prepared grilled as it holds up well to the open flames and its dense flavorful meat is excellent for dipping in any number of Pinoy sawsawan or dipping sauces.

SAPSAP:

Ponyfishes are small and laterally compressed in shape, with a bland, silvery colouration. They are distinguished by highly extensible mouths, and the presence of a mechanism for locking the spines in the dorsal and anal fins. They also possess a luminous organ in their throats, which projects light through the animal's underside.

MILKFISH:

Milkfish, known in the Philippines as bangus, scientific name Chanos chanos, is the sole specie in the family Chanidae in the order Gonorynchiformes in the subclass Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish).  It has a bright silvery sheen, a relatively small toothless mouth, and a single dorsal fin.  Milkfish can grow to over a meter long although the ones found in markets are generally smaller.

Danggit - Philippine fish

DANGGIT:

Danggit refer to rabbitfish, spinefoots, and members of the family Siganidae in general and can thus be applied to samaral.  But in my local wet market at least danggit refers to what looks like mottled spinefoot (Siganus fuscescens) and samaral refers pretty specifically to orange-spotted spinefoot (Siganus guttatus).
