Daing is a traditional Filipino preparation where fish—commonly milkfish (bangus), rabbitfish (danggit), or mackerel (galunggong)—is butterflied, salted, sun-dried, and later fried until crispy. Originating from coastal regions of the Philippines, especially in Ilocos and Cebu, daing was originally developed as a method of preservation before refrigeration. It is typically eaten for breakfast with garlic rice (sinangag) and egg, forming part of the classic Filipino "silog" meals like daingsilog. Its salty, crunchy texture and umami-rich flavor make it both nostalgic and satisfying.

Common variations include Daing na Bangus (marinated milkfish) and Danggit (thin crispy rabbitfish from Cebu).
