When it comes to seafood’s, most Filipinos only know popular fish such as bangus (milkfish), galuggong or tilapia. Additionally, most people don’t even know that stingrays are edible when properly cleaned and prepared.

The meat taste is similar to shrimp and lobster, but its texture is like that of the chicken meat.
