A foreigner in the Philippines asks me, why Bangus is the national fish when it tastes firm and has a lot of difficult intermuscular small bones? He says people should hate this kind of fish.

I couldn't give a convincing answer.

Anyone?

Bangus or Milkfish (Chanos chanos)

Deboned milkfish, or "boneless bangus," has become popular in stores and markets because milkfish is known for being bonier than other food fish in the Philippines. Bangus is a popular table fare among Filipinos. To the biologist, it is a naturally strong fish since it is capable in adapting and thrives even in the limited, unusual environment of the fishpond. This feature is not frequently found in most other fish class.
