One might assume that Sinarapan was given such name because it is 'masarap' or delicious. But it actually got its name from the material that the Bicolanos use for their fishing nets called 'sarap'.
The Sinarapan fish is endemic in Luzon, more specifically in the Bicol region. That's why its scientific name is mistichthys luzonensis.
It is usually as tiny as a five-centavo coin and its body is somewhat transparent. Sinarapan is a nocturnal creature, so it's difficult to catch them during daytime.
Pinas Sarap host Kara David, went to Lake Buhi in Camarines Sur to catch some Sinarapan fish and learn some Bicolano recipes like Inun-on and Ginataang SInrapan, which are perfect for Holy Week.
