Himalit, also known as Flying Fish or Bangsi, offers a delicate texture with tender flesh and a mild, slightly nutty flavor that appeals to seafood aficionados. Despite the name, their “wings” are not for flying, but rather for propelling and gliding across the water for streamlined swimming. Rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, Himalit supports heart health and overall wellness. Whether grilled, baked, or pan-seared, this versatile fish enhances dishes with its subtle flavor and nutritious profile, making it a delightful choice for health-conscious consumers seeking a delicious seafood option.

Himalit, in terms of texture and flavor profile, can be loosely compared to "Tilapia," which is widely consumed in the Philippines. Both fish have tender flesh and a mild flavor, though Rainbow Trout tends to have a slightly nuttier taste compared to Tilapia.
