What is tinapa in english?

Tinapa is a popular Filipino delicacy that is made of smoked fish. It is considered as one of the most loved Filipino dishes for its unique taste and aroma. The most common type of fish used for tinapa is bangus (milkfish), but other types of fish such as tamban (sardine) and galunggong (mackerel scad) can also be used. The fish is first cleaned and gutted, then soaked in a brine solution before being smoked using wood chips or sawdust for several hours. Tinapa is often enjoyed as a snack or as an ingredient in dishes such as rice toppings, omelets, or pasta. It can also be used as a flavoring for soups or stews. Tinapa is widely available in markets throughout the Philippines and can also be found in Filipino specialty stores in other countries.
